nedarim 83

the female nazirite cannot assume anyone will eulogise, mourn or bury her if she distances herself from their dead.

but a woman who has vowed not to get benefit from other people can rely on charity.

- or perhaps she could provide for herself after the divorce?

brachot 18

respect the dead. watch them. walk with them. don't mock them with the objects of living prayer

because they feel pain.
and they know the conversations that take place behind the curtain.
