For me it doesnt get easier.. my step dad fell asleep at the wheel and crash and he died on impact.. he is always on the back of my mind... august 3 was the day he had the accident.. i hate that day. hes been gone for 4 years now and every year august 3rd rolls around and thats all i can think about, but i dont think of his death.. but just memories of him that make me happy. His image never leaves, or i dont think of him less n every little thing like camping or certain dates wen he would take us camping.. always reminds me of him.. specially on his birthday.. i tend do hangout with my mom cuz she gets a little emotional on his birthday and shes even worse on august 3

the passing of our relatives happened in different ways but slip.. just try and think of all he positive memories that you to shared.. i don't know thats just how ive learned to deal with it... i dk if this help sorry :S
