Plan on it being a crummy day each year and LET yourself have that day to let it all out. Do whatever you need to do that day to get thru. My day was Aug. 30. It's been 21 years. It wasn't my child, it was my brother and I'll leave it at that but I found out long ago that day will live with me forever and it's my day to feel crummy because it all comes back. I think you know by now it doesn't get easier but you just find a place to keep it and a way to cope as best you can. Best wishes.
