Facebook's chief operating officer writes an emotional post about the 'void' of the month since her husband, David Goldberg, died in an accident
Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer at Facebook, has written an emotional post on the social networking site about mourning for her husband, David Goldberg, who died in an accident last month.
"Today is the end of sheloshim for my beloved husband-the first thirty days," Sandberg wrote. "Judaism calls for a period of intense mourning known as shiva that lasts seven days after a loved one is buried. After shiva, most normal activities can be resumed, but it is the end of sheloshim that marks the completion of religious mourning for a spouse.
