Time is the ultimate healer, and whatever else gets you through really. It's been massively prolonged for me as family disputes have raged for months since my mum passed, with the end result that I (and my mums brothers and sisters) have cut my brother and his wife out of our lives.

I'd say just get on with life as much as you can, cry as much as you need to and don't hold back on that, it's a great release. Talk about the person and share good memories. You'll always have those.
