When my father was in hospital, suffering (which was worse than the death), I had two days of complete, energy sapping grief, then I had a dream, after translating it, I chanted 'I am a child of god' for half an hour. Then it started to lift. I could then interact with people again.
I saw my father when he was alive, only once a week for about 15 years which is why the grief wasn't worse (wouldn't want y'all to think I was heartless).
So advice is both the god stuff and looking at dreams. Of course dreams are more tailored to the individual. Not everyone likes the god stuff.
