I know what you're going through. Officially separated 24 Oct (living apart for a few months but still seeing each other & sleeping together), his birthday 2 Nov (yes this Sunday), 3rd anniversary 13 November - yes ALL this year.
I've got the day off work, going to spend it with friends & they're going to let me do what I need to do to get through it.
Maybe you could light two candles on the day - one to signify that it is a day that still has some meaning to you and was a day that you used to celebrate - and the other to remind yourself that you give yourself meaning - and you are strong enough to handle this journey by yourself.
the day still signifies a period of your life where you had hopes and dreams for a life with someone you loved. I like the idea of a new tradition - but maybe it's important for your girls to know how happy you were on your wedding day to their Dad? Maybe you could give them each a photo of you getting married and then put the rest of the wedding pictures into a 'vault' until they're grown up? (chuck out the ones you don't like or give them to him!).
Ignore me if I'm way off the mark or outta line here...
