5 Heartfelt Ways to Honor and Remember your Late Loved Ones on Valentines Day

For those grieving, Valentines Day could be an especially difficult time. To help you through, we’ve gathered five simple ways to honour and remember a loved one this Valentine’s Day.

1. Leave flowers at their grave

One traditional way to remember a loved one is by leaving flowers at their grave, by their ashes, or in an empty vase. If this is your first Valentine’s Day since the passing of a loved one, it may stir up difficult emotions. However, bringing a meaningful gift in their memory can provide a sense of healing and comfort.

2. Carry their memory with a timeless memorial jewellery piece

Another meaningful way is to invest in a memorial jewellery piece that keeps their memory alive. They may not be closer to you physically, but their memory will always remain close to your heart, offering comfort and a sense of connection. Whether it’s a pendant, bracelet, ring, or an engraved piece, a chosen piece of jewellery can carry significant sentimental value. We have many memorial jewellery pieces available in our Everwith Jewellery collection and our Recollections Jewellery collection to choose from. Find out more here.

3. Cook their favourite meal

Cooking your late loved one’s favourite meal can be a deeply comforting way to remember them. The familiar smells and tastes can evoke cherished memories, bringing a sense of connection even in their absence. It’s a beautiful way to keep their spirit alive, honouring their presence through something as simple, yet meaningful, as food. Sharing the meal with others who knew them can also bring a sense of unity and help you all celebrate their life together.

4. Donate in their name

Donating to a cause that is close to their heart is another way of honouring their memory. Whether it’s a charity they supported, a cause they were passionate about, or an organisation that reflects their values, your contribution can carry forward their legacy and make a positive impact in a way they would have appreciated.

5. Create a Memory Jar

Creating a memory jar filled with written memories and photos can help you remember the good times you shared together. You can continue adding memories to the jar over the years and invite other family members to participate as well so everyone can contribute to creating a meaningful keepsake.
