Hello Emily,
Good question. Dealing with loss is never easy, and it is different for everyone. helpguide.org provides a great article on how to deal with grief and loss. They discuss six main steps:
1. Acknowledge your pain.
2. Accept that grief can trigger many different and unexpected emotions.
3. Understand that your grieving process will be unique to you.
4. Seek out face-to-face support from people who care about you.
5. Support yourself emotionally by taking care of yourself physically.
6. Recognize the difference between grief and depression.

I hope this helps. Have a great day. - Paula
