It stinks I know. There are a million things, dates, places, etc. you can connect to your previous life where everything was happy. But doing that will only make you miserable. I read somewhere on here where a vet was telling someone to disconnect from that line of thinking. That item you bought together last vacation is just an inanimate object. It only has that special meaning because you allow it to. Disconnect from those things the best you can. Tomorrow is going to stink for a lot of LBHs as well. It will be my first father's day without my family together, and I will not even be getting my kids until mid day. But I will not let that bring me down. I am going to focus on the fact I will be getting to spend half of the day with my two sons and my father.

Keep your chin up.
