Question
Is there a mitzvah to comfort mourners after the shiva?
Answer
If one comforted during the shiva, there is no obligation to return and comfort again. However, if one did not comfort during the shiva, there is a mitzvah to comfort other relatives for thirty days, and for one's father and mother, twelve months, and for a wife who passed away, three festivals.
