When a family member passes away, the holidays can be very difficult.  I have been through this myself.  My own experience of putting memorial ornaments on the Christmas tree made me realize how valuable these are to those grieving.  This list features ornaments for both people and pets, as they are both very important to remember.  I have also included some important grief resources.
