Theresa,

It's only been a few weeks. My father's been gone since October of last year, and it's still hard. The grieving process is very exhausting. Over time, you eventually learn to move forward (and I stress move forward, not move on). I never tell someone that they'll get over it. IMO, there's no such thing as getting over the death of a loved one. The first year's the hardest because you have to go through all the firsts.

Anyway, I hope things will eventually start to get better for you.
