How to Remember Someone Who Died, in an Ordinary Way

The most ordinary way to remember someone is to mark the dates that mattered to them and let those days be acknowledged, instead of facing them alone. Grief doesn’t arrive on a schedule, and the specific, small things — an anniversary, an old joke, the sound of their voice — often have nowhere to go.
