Losing a parent is devastating however old you or they are and you will still be in that first stage of struggling to believe it and a whole host of emotions. Let yourself grieve in your own time and in your own way. It does get easier over time and everyone is different. Personally I took a long time to accept my Dad was gone even though he had been unwell for 12 years but now I remember all the good times we had when I was young. My husband's Dad died only a few weeks after being diagnosed with prostate cancer and that was a huge shock.
Losing those you love is never easy and things sneak up on you. I remember hearing someone say "come on Dad" and it hit me like a brick but it does get better - early days for you. Take care.
