The holiday season often brings about a range of emotions. To pay tribute to a loved one this December, consider these meaningful gestures:

1. Lighting a candle during family meals as a symbol of remembrance.
2. Showcasing a special ornament that brings back fond memories of them.
3. Sharing a beloved story that highlights their impact on your life.

Keep in mind that there is no correct way to grieve or process these feelings; prioritize what brings you solace. ♥️
