We need to grieve the ones we have loved and lost in this lifetime — not to sustain our connection to suffering, but to sustain our connection to love.
– Jennifer Williamson
To honor our loved ones or to carry on their legacy, we often find ourselves following in their footsteps. It could be as simple as volunteering our time and presence to help others or making a donation in our loved one's name to a charity. Kindness has the power to transform both the recipient and the person who offers it. That feeling of satisfaction and peace that comes from doing what you can to help, even if it's just a small and simple act, is truly soul-restoring.

Examples of photos of an Act of Kindness
Donation to a charity
When my dad, Jason, passed away from cancer last year, I decided to donate to a charity that supports cancer patients in his name. It felt right to pay it forward and show kindness to others.
Expressing gratitude
My Grandfather, Ken, was someone whom everyone in my family relied on for emotional support. When he passed on a few years ago, I decided to take on that role, writing appreciation letters to all my family members and reassuring them that they are not alone.
Volunteer work
My Mom, Kendall, used to bring me along on her monthly volunteering. After she passed on 2 years ago, I decided to carry on her spirit of volunteerism, bringing my family and friends along on my journey.
