So, what’s your plan for the anniversary? We talked about this a couple weeks ago and I’m sure you’ve been giving it some thought.

Remember, you can always invite folks or not, you can do something private or do nothing at all.

Plan for some grief responses – that is key. Just a tip – plan for that grief response for earlier in the day. Make time for it and give yourself permission to sit in that grief. By allowing the grief to come, it removes it’s intensity and surprise. You are counting on the grief being there.

Stay true to the life of your Loved One and who you are. Think, is there something that was unique to them that you’d like to incorporate into the day?

It’s completely up to you. Planning for the day will help you manage the anticipation and the unknown of the day.
