How to ask people to remember your deceased child

I lost my only child five years ago and my friends have stopped mentioning her name, like she never existed, and I do not know how to tell them that silence hurts more than tears.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The community's discomfort with death creates a conspiracy of silence that erases the child's ongoing significance.
