It takes time, some never heal completely.
Eventually the pain of the loss fades and you can remember the good times with your parent, the happier moments in life.  Pictures bring back happy memories not painful ones.

Be patient with yourself.

Jesus said we are all God's in John 10:34.  We are here to grow to perfection . No excuse or sorrow felt from God.

First and foremost, I want to say that I am so sorry for your loss. One of the saddest and most devastating things we endure as humans is the loss of a loved one. 

But there is a promise to us from God at Revelation 21:4. It states "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." 

As we await the day when God will rid the earth of death, what can we do to cope with the devastating effects of loss? The following link takes you to an article entitled Coping With Grief - What You Can Do Today: https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/awake-no3-2018-nov-dec/coping-with-grief-do-today/ I hope you can gain some comfort from this article.

Luke 9:59-60 
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. [60] Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

Psalm 27:10 
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.

 To grin and bear it.... My father is currently dying in a care home in England. And because I currently live in Germany im not allowed due to the current covid restrictions in force to even fly there to see and hold him one last time..... That deeply hurts me.
Sorry to read of your recent loss.... I´m gonna be in the same boat soon and I wont be able even to attend his funeral as things presently are sadly
