DEATH-IVERSARY.

It's a new word, but there's nothing new about it. People have been facing the death-anniversaries of loved ones since the dawn of time. The death anniversary day can be filled with feelings and expectations, making it easy to feel apprehensive and even awkward as the day approaches.

Watch the video for lots of creative (and helpful!) ideas.
