Whether or not to remember the wedding anniversary of a widow or widower really depends on the person.
  • Some will want their wedding anniversary remembered and some won't. This is one of those situations where you have to talk with the person involved to find out how they want to handle the day.
  • Recipients often appreciate receiving a "Thinking of You" card.
  • Taking the widow or widower out to dinner is a nice way to remember the day.
