How do you get over the death of a loved one?

In short: you mourn...

It's important to allow yourself to experience whatever comes up, without expectations or judgment. Typically you may go through waves of sadness, anger, numbness, or guilt...

There's no "right way" to feel, just allow whatever is happening to happen... remain aware, in other words, as much as possible. The process of healing is natural and takes time.

Well yes, basically. Mourning would only be a problem if you're hanging on to something too long -- i.e. trying to keep the past alive with too much rigidity. Lots of things in life involve going through painful or uncomfortable emotional processes that are normal and healthy. To avoid those processes makes life stop flowing, and causes all sorts of malfunctions.
