It's the little things that hurt the most.

Example:

They keep a dried rose on the coffee table - pressed and saved from a bouquet he got her on one of their first dates. She has very carefully kept it for years to preserve the memory.

There's also all kinds of little everyday-routine things that can be played with and changed.

Best of luck!
