Indeed. It is probably the most significant thing that ever happens to a person. My sincere condolences.
I have not dealt with such a change but have dealt with grief. Try to catch the sun rise. It is incredibly beautiful.
It will probably hurt because the instinct is to want to share the beauty to enjoy it. The good thing is that you can, with the version of your significant one you hold in your mind. I am serious, do catch the sun.
Grief hits in overpowering waves. Over time there is space between the waves. They will always be there but they become survivable.
