7 famous couples who were separated by death

Share a story or memory

If you knew the person who has died, you may want to share a story or memory about them and the kind of person they were, or even a photo of them from a time you spent together. It’s a good idea to choose a positive story and keep the focus on the person who has died, rather than what you said or did. Things like this can be a great comfort to grieving family members, but you may need to think about when and how to share them. You could include a story in a sympathy card or message, or tell them when you’re together.
