I'm so sorry for your loss.
The first anniversary after we lost my dad was the hardest, but it does get easier. I still sometimes "forget" that I can't just talk to him or call him, but the shitty, crying days are not as frequent anymore. Just take today to mourn or do whatever you need. It's a rough day for sure.
I'm sorry for your loss. It's good that you're seeing your dad and sister, but take some time for yourself today, too.
My mom died 30 years ago, February 2nd. It still hurts, but there have been years when the day comes and goes without me even noticing. It will get easier, I promise (I realize that's not terribly comforting from an internet stranger).

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm not religious either, and it is hard to think of them being gone. It's only been four months since my mom died, but I find myself going through a day and suddenly noticing something that I do that reminds me of what she would have done. Or donating to a cause I believe in and realizing that she taught me to be passionate about that cause. Obviously, these things are different for everyone, but it brings me great comfort to realize how much of her is in me, and that she taught me so many good things. ((stranger e-hugs))

My dad died on Feb 2 of this year.
((hugs)) At this point I can't even imagine what a year would be like. Be kind to yourself today. You will be in my thoughts today.

Hugs to you and I hope you had an okay day. I'm glad that you were able to spend it with your family, and I hope that's been helpful to you. I'll ditto others that you may not forget it (my father died on Father's Day, which is tough every year), but it does get easier with time.
