Keeping loved one’s in our life

I was speaking to my aunt last night and she was so excited because her son had just received a doctorate. Her voice was sad and happy, because her husband died about 7 years ago and she was upset that he was not here to feel the pride that she was feeling. I asked her “How she coping with the mixed emotions?”
She said she was going to his grave today and was going to talk to him, fill him in on what his son had 
achieved. She said that although he wasn’t still alive, it didn’t mean she couldn’t talk to him. My heart went out to her in one sense, and in another slightly envious that she had found a way of comfort for herself. How do you cope?
