It will get better! Part of that will be letting go the overwhelming need to go back to normal (none of us can go back in time, we can only go forward) and realise that we don't lose the old "me", we just refine it a bit and that might actually be good. Grieving is necessary but so is consciously doing things that bring pleasure, that make you laugh. They will be little things at first, trivial even, but you need to rebuild the habit of good feelings, to overcome the feelings of tiredness and numbness. Being strong can be exhausting, so don't ignore the healing power of tears and a scream or two!! Then do something really enjoyable. Take care.
