There is nothing you can do. You MUST grieve, however. You also MUST try to cope with it.
I contemplated suicide after losing my Mom. She was the last blood relative I had left on the planet. That bites me every day but life goes on.
Sooner or later you will come across someone going through a similar grief as you. Be there for that individual. It will help you immensely.

My Father died first and of heart disease and my Mother of ovarian cancer. After my Father died my Mother quit her chemo and eventually she gave up and went to bed.

Hang in there!
So sorry to hear. Recently went through this. It gets better. Never the same.
As my parent told me, death is natural part of life. Made it easier.
Most important, nothing was left unsaid, unfinished, open switch. Had great life. Me too as result of said parent. Peaceful feeling comes.

I just settle on being content with him having had a good life and being better off than he was right before he died.
I felt like Rocky’s trainer at the end. It was brutal, and I will never forget it.
Everybody dies, and we have to deal with it. When a person has a good run and has lived an admirable life, we can accept that thats how life goes.

You eventually manage. All that you’re going through is part of it. It hurts like hell and will always sting but their memory is always there and you begin to appreciate and be grateful for all that they’ve taught and have done for you. Talk with your friends and family and laugh about those great times and seek out a counselor if need be. Both of my parents are gone almost 15 years now and I still get a gut punch here and there, but I always look up and thank them and God!

I don't know. It's been over a year for me. Eventually you get accustomed to the new reality but not a day goes by that I dont think of her.

True.
But the grief is not rally for them. It’s bc you don’t get to see, do, etc.
For me it was bc my kids won’t get to see”insert whatever” anymore…

Everyone has to find their own place to put their grief. Nobody is the same. I’m sorry for your loss.
I know that my words don’t make a difference.
One step at a time.
