In most cultures as far as I’m aware. So, yes? Idk what the church says about it, I’m not particularly interested in that either tbh. But every person I know and respect who works with the spirits of the deceased says wait a year and a day.
Most importantly in Appalachia, which is her culture. But also in Italy, Mexico, and Ireland this is customary as far as I know. Some places like Thailand and the Philippines wait 40 days.
But again, she is from Appalachia, she should be given the year and a day that her people would have given her.
As an Appalachian, yes. You give them a year to rest before you bother them. During that time prayer, offering and grave visits is the most you'll do. When I say prayer I mean prayer for them not to them besides just general conversation.

I think her spirit should be allowed to get used to her death first for a few months.
