You're grieving and your grief is quite appropriate. You can't move on until you've grieved not only the relationship, but all the hopes and dreams and all the things that come with a relationship.
As far as death is concerned, I have two conflicting views, depending on my mood. Sometimes I see it as merging with the consciousness of all souls, or with God, or with all the individual sparks of life. Other times I think of it as a movie room, where they replay every hurt you've ever done anyone, any kindness you've failed to give. Or maybe something completely different. Anyone's guess is as good as anyone else's I guess.
But grief, grief is raw pain.
Have you had therapy? Therapy is a good place to learn to comfort yourself. It's helped me.
