My husband died in June after a hard fought battle with cancer. His birthday is approaching quickly. I'm not sure how to celebrate this day. I'm not sure how to survive it without curling up in a ball all day. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks..

When my best friend died it helped me to just have a fun day. My mom knew the situation and took me to the zoo, then I came home and watched comfort movies, and ate my favorite foods. It'll still hurt, but it'll be easier and better than isolating and sitting in those feelings. My biggest advice is to not spend the day alone and have someone with you to help.
