There is a practice for a mourner to change his seat in Shul -- there are many different opinions about when and how.

If, during the period of mourning, the mourner suffers another loss, so he changes his seat again, can he change it back to the original location or must he move to a third space?

    Who says that one who suffers another loss changes his seat again? – Gershon Gold Jun 17 '18 at 2:24

    I don't understand why he would change again. He's already not in his designated seat – Double AA♦ Jun 17 '18 at 2:29
  • @rosends if the new place became his makom kavua he'd have to move from it even if no one new died. Moving is not a one time thing. He moves from his makom kavua every time he walks in. – Double AA♦ Jun 17 '18 at 4:10

    @DoubleAA then I don't understand "He moves from his makom kavua every time he walks in". If I sit in different spot consistently, wouldn't it become my makom? Are you saying that I would then have to move from IT also? (as per your statement "if the new place became his makom kavua he'd have to move from it even if no one new died") So he has to constantly find a different place because each place becomes his new makom. – rosends Jun 17 '18 at 18:05

    @DoubleAA so then if the place I move to is not my makom, but the original location is (no matter than I no longer sit there) then if another person passes, I need not move because by sitting in this temporary place I have already abandoned the singular place designated as my makom? – rosends Jun 17 '18 at 18:33
