I found The Grieving Brain by Mary-Frances O'Connor really helpful. It gave me a frame for why grief is a necessary part of our brain processing the loss. It made it much easier to move through the pain.

you have to actually remap your world to one where this person doesn't exist--that's a difficult neuro process and grief is part of it
