I believe it means you are still grieving and this can take a very long time. It might be best to get help with this. Seeking counsel would be a good idea.

From a very objective perspective , it means that this is a change in our lives we are not ready to deal with.
We humans like to have an illusion of control over things around us we like to pretend as if we control our environment and our surroundings.
It's hard to let go of someone we love but this too is a change we need to accept in our lives after all change is out of our hands.
Change is after all what makes a life tick , life is like an ECG machine a straight constant line without any change might as well mean that we're dead.
Change is something we should learn to deal with and with compassion.

It means that you loved that person soo much but life goes on and you need to start living your life for yourself not for the others. Those that we love and we lost them are going to always be in our hearts but now you need to move on and find yourself a happy place in your mind.

Time heals everything and ones who are gone won't come back but we can do things to make their memory proud of us. We can fight back against negativity and keep grinding through. One day one moment at a time.

Losing a loved one can be extremely challenging. Oftentimes we hold on to everything we knew and felt about them. Not knowing how to proceed after such an event can show multiple things. It can show that we love them so much, that there is no complete way to detach. We should commend ourselves for being able to love so deeply. It can also mean that this loved individual has impacted our life in a way that we think of them frequently, or even feel their presence. This can be through teaching us and shaping us into who we are today. Not being able to let go can be ok. It can be heard to go on. Things take time and it is ok to be unable to let go sometimes. Everyday we get stronger and are supported by those around us: near and far, here and gone!
