Call

The time to visit is entirely up to the mourners of the home. There may or may not be allotted times to make a shiva call, so best to call someone who knows. It is important for some that you do not knock on the door or ring the doorbell. Approaching the mourner may not be encouraged in some families, but in others it is, but it is very important that you don't say 'good morning/afternoon' to them and allow them to start the conversation, as they may not be in the mood to talk.
