Celebrating/remembering child after stillbirth

Looking for suggestions or ideas

Last year my daughter was stillborn at 22 weeks, its coming up to her first birthday/anniversary (still dont know what to call it!). Would love to hear what other parents in this situations have done to remember/celebrate their babies or suggestions from anyone. I would like something that could become a tradition and could possibly include her 3yr old sister?

Friends of mine bought a star and would go to the observatory to see that star on the anniversary.

I've also heard of people planting a tree

Close friends of mine brought a butterfly on the wall at SANDS. They have also had his name printed in the back of a book through SANDS in memory of him. They have planted a garden with their older children which they add to (a small ornament or plant) each year. And they make a general donation to SANDS each year as well I believe.
