I think you grieve for her and learn to let her go.  I doubt that she would want you to be this miserable.  Accepting something and moving on doesn't mean it means less.
I think you take the memories and use them to resolve to live your life.
Grief isn't something that can be rushed, it is a process, and can take time.

Seeing a psychiatrist and a psychotherapist could be helpful.

I think you are seeing the wrong doctors, the ones who can help you answer this question are psychiatrist who will help you explore what is going on and listen carefully to what you are feeling...you should make an appointment soon.
