After losing a loved one, it can feel like there’s a gap in your life where they once existed. While nothing can replace them, many people try to keep memories alive using meaningful rituals and traditions.

Some people meet with friends and family once a year to share memories of the person; others find small ways to keep their spirit present in their everyday lives.

For a future story, we want to know about the creative ways you have remembered or celebrated someone after they passed away. Do you leave an empty chair for them at holiday meals? Volunteer at their favourite charity? Take up a hobby they once loved? Tell us how you brought joy to a celebration of life, a unique ritual you started, or other unique ways you pay tribute.
