Grace,
I never lost a mate. But, five years ago, I lost a child with a miscarriage. The process is never, ever easy- whether it's a parent, a child, a sibling, or a mate.
I can't recommend a book or something that's going to automatically take away the pain. But I can tell you is that you can handle your grief really productively if you just give yourself room to feel and take it moment by moment. Give yourself room amidst all your day-to-day demands.
And sometimes, maybe a counselor can help. Or a new hobby where you get to punch something.
Hope this helps in some little way,
Alex
