When my mother was at the end of her life, a friend who'd lost her father recently recommended a shiva g'mach called Misaskim. They came over the day I asked and brought low chairs for mourners' sitting (a shiva custom), memorial candles, prayerbooks, etc. Then they came again to pick it all up.

There's another nest of prayerbooks left from among the court women just a hair later, and those have gotten a bit of attention, but only a bit, and no comparison with the earlier clerical books.
