Grief anniversaries and triggering dates

Grief has a calendar of its own — death dates, birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and seemingly random dates that the body remembers before the mind does. These recurring moments of intensified mourning are normal and do not indicate that grief is unresolved; they indicate that love has not ended. This domain examines grief anniversaries, what they are, why they occur, and how to prepare for and move through them.
