Mourning the loss of a loved one is a different process for everyone.
Some choose to honor their deceased friends and family members with landmarks or urns centered on living room mantels. Some hold vigils and write open letters and speeches. Others cherish lockets with pictures of those that have moved on.
One British woman chose to honor her late sister with a special tattoo – a tattoo made out of ink mixed with the ashes of her deceased sister.
Charlotte Hollands contracted Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects the bone marrow, skeletal system and pancreas, when she was young. The disease led her to countless hospital visits and eventually played a part in her developing leukemia twice.
"Charlotte didn't let her illness hold her back from doing what she wanted," Hollands' sister, Nicola Hollands, told the Daily Mail. "When she was well, she lived a normal life."
"Ultimately, she succumbed to this evil disease that gave her leukemia twice and took away her sparkle," said Nicola Hollands.
