When a woman loses her husband, for the first week before the loved one is buried she cannot do work, or touch anything at all for anyone else. For a month after that she cannot cook, and must largely stay by herself, and it is important that she not touch trees or plants or she will kill them. The same applies to a husband, if he loses his wife.
