For me, when my Dad died last year, it was all about honoring him. Still the pain, but a "sweet" pain. I'd describe it as instead of my heart breaking, it broke open. I played guitar and sang at his funeral, and made this video of him, which is pretty easy to do and you can do too, I'm sure. It was about healing, that's all. Finding what made him great and just bathing it that greatness.
