It just takes time, sometimes longer for others but the hurting will pass. I know when I lost my father it hurt in the pit of my stomach for months, could not eat or sleep very well, but in time it passed. hope this helps

You don't ever really "get used" to the absence of a beloved when they've passed away. It becomes a dull lingering pain in the back of your mind / heart that you learn to live with.

I dont think people ever quite get used to their absence. What they do is move on in their own lives so that there is more things to distract them from it.
Losing a loved one is something we are all going to face at some point in our lives (unless we ourselves die young). I think that it is our responsibility to CHOOSE life and move into a space where we can FULLY make the most of what life we HAVE.
IF your loved one was sitting by your side right now, what would they say to you? How would they comfort you? What would THEY want you to be doing?
We dont get to choose to have them back with us, but we do get to choose how we FEEL in every moment. To taint the remainder of YOUR LIFE because some one you love lost theirs is not a valid reason.
Honour the person you lost by making the most of LIFE while it is still within your reach.
Have them with you in your heart, not to tie you to sadness, but to SHARE your joys.

Open up to the other loved ones in your life and let them give you a little support. It is very easy to close out those who are closest to you. You don't need to be alone in this even if you feel lonely.

Sorry, it just takes a long time.
If there are people in your life you can talk to about this (who won't just try to "cheer you up" but will accept what you say and listen sympathetically), then talk to them about it. (Try not to overdo.)
You might consider finding a group for grieving people. Talking to people who understand what you're going through helps.
You don't say how long ago this was.
It takes time; sometimes a LOT of time.

By distracting yourself by meeting new friends, joining different organizations, traveling, finding new hobbies, etc. The worst thing to do is to sit alone at home and look at old photographs.

It'll never be ok.
But it will get easier.
