How to commemorate a loss

[BarefootScientist]

I need ideas on how to commemorate my grandma's death. Ideally something I would do every year around the time she died, I'm not thinking of a private ritual, but maybe a donation I could make or something? Does anyone have something that they do?

She died a year ago early December.

My Grandmother died early December two years ago. She didn't die of breast cancer but she survived it three times, and was a big pink-ribbon advocate for breast cancer research, so I donate to the Susan B. Komen foundation in her memory. And I know you're not looking for a private ritual but we Jews light a candle on the anniversary of a loved one's death and take the evening to reflect on that person's life and love; this is a beautiful, peaceful gesture which I find very helpful. You might try that.

Thank you. Maybe I am kind of looking for both a private and a more public thing I could do. I guess I'll accept all ideas. I love the candle idea, thanks.
