When families lose their spiritual center

My extended family always gathered for holidays around my grandmother's deep faith, but she died last year and now we're all just going through the motions. Nobody wants to say that the gatherings feel empty without her spiritual presence, but we all feel it and we don't know how to honor what she gave us.
