Valentine’s Day can be a painful reminder of someone you love and miss.

While the day is often centered around happy times, it can also be a time to quietly reflect on the love you shared. You might choose to honor their memory in a meaningful way, or you may simply move through the day as it comes.

There's no right or wrong way to grieve on Valentine’s Day. The most important thing is to do what feels right for you.
