Live your life in a way you’d know they’d be proud of

Whether it’s a spouse, a parent, a grandparent, a child, or a friend, we have a hard time acknowledging that our loved one won’t be there for us when we accomplish something or when we reach a milestone. That’s why taking time to remember how proud your loved one would be of you for a certain accomplishment is not only comforting, but it can also remind you of how we’re still connected to the ones we lost.

Finish a project they were working on
