There is no set time, unfortunately. It's different for everyone. All I can say is that now is the time to grieve. Take that time for yourself. Soon, you'll notice that it hurts less and less. I don't think you ever really stop missing the lost ones, but in time, you can begin to look back and remember the good stuff. I've got a great story about a dog I lost many years ago that I still miss. It's good for a laugh. If you're interested, I'll PM it to you. Don't wanna hijack your thread.
