Gwyn, you have received some wonderful advice . Some may work better for you than others . My brother has been gone almost 3 years (from cancer) and it still hurts . I have found that by looking into the sky and talking to him helps. I find a big fluffy cloud and imagine him all comfortable and we talk.
Do what works for you, there is no right or wrong. Please put off any major decisions for a bit until you feel your feet are more steady. There is no reason to rush anything. And don't let anyone pressure/rush you into anything you are not comfortable with
