In a word... YES. And althought I agree with the posters who advise not supressing your feelings, I also think it's important to be conscious of the fact that it is very easy to start to feel sorry for yourself and wallow in it a bit. You can't move throught the grief process without feeling everything you're supposed to feel so cut yourself some slack and let it out every once in a while. Then go do something that makes you happy. Even, no make that especially, if you don't feel like it. Browse a bookstore, a glass of wine with a trusted girlfriend, dancing, exercise class, hugging your kids ... whatever works for irish.
