Losing a loved one is never easy, and the pain is only amplified on a significant day like a holiday, or their birthday.
Valerie Bertinelli is experiencing this pain as she remembers Eddie Van Halen on his birthday — the first since his passing. The actress and TV chef took to social media to share a heartfelt, unseen text from her ex-husband's birthday last year.
Eddie and Valerie's son, Wolfgang, is also remembering the beloved musician on the first birthday since his passing.
Fans have been moved by the emotional tributes, and have begun to share their own on social media.
