Today is my dad's birthday. He would have been 76. He died five years ago and I still miss him terribly, but the acute grief DOES get better. You never get over it, but eventually you get used to it. Today to celebrate his birthday, I took a vacation day and went and did things he used to enjoy or that we would have done together. That sort of thing both honors the one you lost and gives you a break. Try to be extra nice to yourself for a while.
