I'm sorry for your loss. I understand the desire for it to be true.
I think I was a very bitter atheist for a while, because of the death thing. I hated that others could still take comfort in their fairy tale, but it had been ripped away from me, so I was kind of mean to theists for a while. It took time but I got past that stage.
I have also dearly wished that there was an afterlife. I miss my grandmother even 20 years after she passed. She was like a second mother to me. The thought of losing my own mother, my husband, my child, horrifies me and fills me with fear.
It is much harder to learn to live with the truth. You are brave to do so.
