Answer 1

If you're talking about a friend or relative losing somebody, one thing you can do is maybe mention that you remember the date, and that alone makes the person feel better. Just knowing that you remembered the date shows that the deceased was somebody special to you.

Answer 2

There is no better way to remember someone than by celebrating their life. I hope that's what my friends and family do after I die.

Answer 3

My father died the day after Christmas. I celebrate it in his honor.

My mom died on her birthday. I celebrate August 7th in her honor.

I miss them both, may they rest in peace.

Answer 4

I usually just light a candle and put it by my brother's picture on his birthday.

Answer 5

do what makes you feel better. If you feel like celebrating them then do it.

Answer 6

Do whatever feels right for you. Don't let societal conventions dictate either way.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
