Any advice? Easily the toughest thing I've ever had to deal with.

Sorry for your loss. I'm dealing with something similar. Not sure how to deal with it, but you aren't alone.

In all honesty, I got over mine by realizing that bein depressed was the absolute worst thing they would ever want for me.

Prayer and/or meditation, depending on your beliefs. Think about how the loved one would want you to be living your life right now.

Everybody grieves differently, and every death won't affect you the same way. Not much I can tell you to make it easier NOW, but it DOES get easier and less painful with time. Eventually thinking of that person you lost will make you smile when you remember the good times or their funny quirks, and you won't feel so sad thinking about how much you miss them.
Sorry for your loss.

I drink a lot, and pop the occasional pill, but that's just me.
ETA: Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss. Try to find a way to honor your loved one, perhaps through some charity work or participating in something your loved one enjoyed doing.

My wife and I went to grief counseling. It helped me a great deal.
There was no ground breaking moment. Mainly just a a safe place to say what I felt and cry without feeling judged.

Time. Sometimes that's the only thing. If you're Christian, pray. Pray a lot. "Talk" to your passed loved one anytime you miss them. Remember that you being depressed would be the last thing they would want for you. You're worse off than they are now, trust me. Take comfort in the fact that they are now in paradise and you will see them again one day.
Prayers for you!!!

Sorry, dude. My dad just passed away a little over a month ago on November 30th, three weeks before his 49th birthday. Know how you're feeling right now.

Time, prayer, grieve, and stay busy. So sorry for your loss.

Sorry man. Honestly, there isn't much we can tell you. It's sad, it's fricking sad. If you're like me, and I'm sure most other people, you'll eventually get over it. It just happens.

no matter your religion or lack of religion writing and talking to the deceased person is a common way to work through your emotions with their loss.

My Grandma passed away a few weeks ago. I just try and remember that she lead a long, great life and I was lucky to be able to have her in my life for 39 years. She was 89 years old and saw more in her life than most people I know will ever see.
