The above is correct but in addition, for a parent, one tears on the left, the side of the heart. For the other 5 relatives (brother, sister, spouse, or [R"L,] son or daughter), one tears on the right side.

To clarify, this is only appropriate for the shiva, unless the Kri'ah was never done (or the ribbon was used, which is insufficient.)
