Honoring Your Loved One's Memory

Honoring the memory of your spouse can be a deeply healing part of your grief journey. Find ways to celebrate their life and the love you shared. This might include creating a memory box with photos and keepsakes, writing letters to them, or participating in activities they loved. You could also plant a tree in their honor or dedicate a bench in a favorite park. These acts of remembrance can provide comfort and a tangible way to feel connected to your spouse. Yet, these are tough to do alone. That’s one of the ways a grief or grief companion may be of help to you. Remember, it’s about what feels right for you. There’s no timeline or specific way to honor your loved one—trust your heart to guide you.
