The day on which your loved one died is a date forever etched in your heart. The first year you observe this day of days—and perhaps on others yet to come—may be tearful and sorrowful. Perhaps you struggle still with guilt or regret. As days turn into weeks and weeks into months, the year goes by and life goes on. But you never forget. Sadness one day turns into grateful, warm memories of the one lost to you in death.
