Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 203

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Parents and children who converted together, the Kitzur says, do not mourn each other, though a quoted source keeps respect for biological parents. After an introduction to the stages of aveilus, the Kitzur sets out when shiva begins for a nearby burial, a burial elsewhere, a body never found, and news heard late.

Key points

• Parents and children who converted together do not mourn each other, says the Kitzur, though a source keeps parental respect.
• A relative told of a death elsewhere counts, per the Kitzur, from when told, not shortening for other mourners.
