Not too long ago I lost a friend and for a while I cried and nothing cheered me up but I’ve noticed that I smile a lot more and I feel guilty about being happy when someone recently died.

Sorry for your loss.
In time it is normal IMO to get back with life and that includes smiling and being happy. There is no set schedule or time frame to say enough time has past etc.
Depending on the friendship was your friend a person you often had fun / smiles they most likely would want you to smile again.
