My own experience is that these things - things you deeply care about and are separated from, it doesn't need to be via death, there are (unfortunately) so many ways this experience comes - will probably seem raw forever, as you care, and there will always be moments that those feelings overwhelm you.
I've found no answer to that, other than to face those moments with sincerity and finally a shrug and a smile. I'm not sure there should be one.
