Time. Lots of time.
They are still with you - listen closely. They'll speak to you when you need to hear them.

We already saying UW football is officially dead? Let us wait until the opening game loss to Michigan, at least.
T's and P's though. -
Time. It takes a lot of time. Time is your friend. Takes a long time to get over the loss
Of a loved one. -
Like everyone said, time. That is the one thing everyone had in common. Some people do best burying themselves in work. Others need to dwell on it for a while. I find laughing helps. For me binging South Park would be a good choice.

Never an easy thing for anyone.
Ts and Ps man.
For real. -

Do what feels right for you. Everyone has a different process.

This isn't advice someone gave me. It's what I learned myself. Dont try to "get through it". Grief feels better than emptiness.
My Dad is really the only close person I've lost to date. I'd have dreams about him and instead of waking up sad I'd be happy that I got to spend that time with him. Instead of being overwhelmed by the waves of sadness that would come over me during the day, I learned to relish them as I felt close to him during those moments.
The frequency of those moments and the dreams eventually fade and I missed them when they were gone. I decided that grief was a gift to be embraced, not overcome. -
All great stuff. Thank you.
