My mother in law recently lost her husband. She met him 30 years ago on Valentines day. I want to do something special for her to remember him by…. I know this is going to be a hard day for her. I want to make this a joyful day and not a painful day.

I’d do something in memory of him… Maybe make him a valentine and laminate it and put it on his grave or by his ashes (depending on what you chose to do with his remains). Or pull out some old photos and make a scrapbook, so the pictures are safe and displayed nicely with love and talk about memories from each of the photos. Sometimes it is nice to remember how much you loved (& still love) someone and that they are somewhere still loving you.
If that is too hard this year, maybe doing something else to take her mine off of the day with you and her son. Everyone grieves differently (I’m a funeral service major not a bereavement major), but you know her the best… So just feel her out and maybe talk to her about it before hand?
It’s nice that you are thinking of her, good luck & I wish you & your family the best.
Spend the day baking goodies with her (if she enjoys baking) so you can both spend the day together and make sweets for yourselves and your families. That way she’ll be kept busy, and you’re there in case she needs a shoulder to cry on. Maybe watch a movie she really loves as well.
