You might consider also planning a moment to slow down and do allow the thoughts to come. Distracting yourself and pushing away the thoughts - repressing them - can be very difficult. And make it worse later on.
It's like microwaving a Tupperware canister with food.. with the lid on tight, it will explode and you'll have to clean up the microwave. Lid on loose, or stopping a few times during the heating to take it off and put it back on, and you'll have warm food and no clean up.

Maybe go to the park and feed the ducks, 1 slice of bread only so you don't stay with your thoughts too long? Massage, yoga, relaxation exercise?
Or just buy and eat a cake as a reminder that you've survived.

It's just that it sounds like a lot of running around and stimulation what you've planned. Take a moment to acknowledge that yes, it did happen. 'Trying to forget' might make things wrong in the longer term.

I wish you well.
