I think that is a very unselfish response to honor your friend with a normal day and normal routines. It would absolutely not be helpful for you to wallow in self-pity at the loss of such a good friend. Having such good and happy memories will be helpful during this time of grieving. Take good care of yourself, cry when you need to, and keep going. You have such a great attitude and a loving and kind heart. Cathy was fortunate to have you for a friend. Thank you for sharing this with us. (Donna)
