How friend groups navigate traditions after losing someone central to them

Our friend group has been doing this annual camping trip for eight years, but ever since Jake died last year we can't figure out whether going back to the same place honors him or just makes everything feel hollow and wrong — and we're all too afraid to say what we really think.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A community is paralyzed between preserving rituals that once held meaning and acknowledging that meaning itself has been fundamentally altered by loss.
