H&P - It certainly doesn't take the pain away, I know. I oscillate between head and heart. Today I was clearing out some things from my house, baby steps towards moving. I felt sad and so forth. Still, I know this is the right thing for me.
Sometimes, gotta let the head lead for a while so you can get some much needed peace in the heart.
Best thing to do is keep yourself busy. For me, doing any kind of paperwork does the trick. It does all get better in time too
