My brother died many years ago. I remember the acute shock and distress for all the family at the start, and deep sadness afterwards. Its a long,hard haul, but we have all reached the stage when we can think of him and smile with the good memories, and the sadness isnt so acute.
I'm *not* saying its quick or easy, or that it in any way means that you value the person who has died any less, or have forgotten them.
But just to say it wont always feel as terrible as it does now. Be kind to yourselves.
