Remembering a loved one

Just a bit of advice please, my partners dad died 4 years ago this Saturday in an awful accident. The years certainly don't get easier for my partner so I'm just wondering what I can do on Saturday to make it as easy as possible for him but also something to remember his dad...thanks

On the first anniversary of dh's death, friends drove me to the cemetery to lay flowers and then on to lunch at a (particularly nice) garden centre cafe. The cafe is in an old house with lovely views. It was much appreciated

Listening is often the kindest thing you can do. Even if you listen to their silence. Ask if anything is needed (hand hold, chat, food). It's ok for the answer to those questions to be 'no'. Hugs if needed. Possibly pay for lunch if you can afford to.

You sound very kind OP.

Thank you so much, I'm going to try and take him out for dinner and then we will have his dads favourite drink afterwards! It's been a tough 4 years in and out of court because of what happened and last year the 3 year anniversary was while we were sat in court, it was awful.
So this year I just wanted to do something nice for him and his dad❤️
