You'll have the Year Of The Firsts. But know you'l get through...

every event - holiday, birthday, special thing he enjoyed will be tough that first year. For me, with both my parents, these days were much more tough than the anniversary of when they passed.

Just have a plan to get through...it gets a bit better after that first year. At least for me it did.

Good luck. And make sure you take time for yourself, other loved ones...but really...don't forget YOU.
