I personally have never lost a very close person to me thus i can't give a true reply based on an experience which generated true honest feelings.

However, i can say this, its because of  memories people who have lost beloved ones revive, that i was inspired in different of ways, even though i didn't know any of them personally.

So, I beleive that cheriched days can never bring our loved ones back or make things the way they were before, but they could be  incentives that push us forward and maybe touch the lives of others and make a difference. Its the way we live our lives that glorify the memory of our loved ones since we will always be related to them, thus keeping their memory in the mind of others around us.

May all wounded hearts be cured, but one can't forget that sadness like happiness make a stronger human.
