The best way to cope will be to talk to a professional about your loss. They'll know how to help better than anyone. If you don't, you risk a much slower recovery and more damage due to grief. Bottling it up or only talking to family members may not be the best option, I advise getting professional help if you can.

Firstly, I'd like to say I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Loss is always a difficult thing to come to terms with and recover from. You could, for a start, track your progress through the five stages of grief and keep a journal to recognize and express the feelings that you have. It's important to take time to really pinpoint exactly what you are feeling, otherwise it's far too easy for them to escape unnoticed and start finding other outlets .

All great things come to an end, we can't stop it, but the most we can do is to remember the best times they brought us and accept that it was their time to leave. When my most beloved grandmother passed away when I was 6 I was devastated, never in my six years of life back then have I felt so much raw emotions that hurt me everytime I closed my eyes. Even now when I look over my bedside table my eyes still get a little teary seeing her picture. I want to tell you now that the pain of never seeing them again will never go away, but by focusing our attention and love elsewhere might help us forget for a while, or just learn that we were lucky enough to have them in our life at one point.
