Make a seperate photo album just for them , or do a collage of their life in a multi-picture frame.
After my dad died, at my niece's wedding - she had a small photo of him there at the place setting with my mom. She also had the minister remember him at a brief point during the ceremony.
Plant flowers at the cemetery - during different times of the year.
finally - if they had any traditions you would like to keep - continue to do them in their honor.

Try to remember them as they were and what they mean to you. Hold them special in your heart. Share memories and talk about them to the children. You will be surprised how much more they remember about lost loved ones than you realise. Let them know it is okay to cry and feel upset and that you share in their pain.
How often you visit the grave is entirely your own choice. There are no rules on this. It is a matter of doing what feels right for you.
The loss of someone we love so much is hard and painful. They will always be with you in your heart and mind.

In both good and bad ways....my dad's two year anniversary that he passed just hit October 11 and I definately had my moments....
I remember all the good times we had together how he used to tuck me into bed and sing to me...how he used to take me and my friends to different concerts and to the mall and always pick us up. I remember just sitting down and talking to him and telling him that I loved him....I can only cherish those moments now....I would kill to relive those moments....just a simple hug would make me so happy.
The bad times I remember was basically when he was on his death bed and the pulled the plug...we were all there surrounding him crying and I still feel the fear I had when I was there...he had a single tear coming down his eyes as he was peacefully leaving this world....I wouldn't wish that nightmare on anybody! I was so scared and still miss him terribly.
ok I am going to stop before i start crying....but definately keeping their memory alive with pictures and stories are the best way.
My thoughts to all those who have lost somebody close to their hearts.

Depends on who it is, it's been almost a year now and I wake up every morning reliving the fact my mom is gone and there are still moments I pick up the phone to call to ask her something like an idiot. If they mean something to you their memory never dies, you don't have to do anything.

Pray for them, talk about them, visit the cemetary on holidays. I try to do this often for my grandparents.
