Fry - you are doing great. I am just a month behind and I tear up at church and school events. It is a bittersweet mix of gratitude, lova and grief. It's ok to feel it because that's how you get through it. This is not something to "get over" you must slog your way through it.
H's bday is next month. It's a big one and I am not sure how to handle it. The whole no expectations thing is hard to master. You are doing so well and just loving your kids and loving yourself is so important so you can carry on.
Thinking of you and sending prayers that today will be peaceful and strong for you.
