It is always better to fully grieve first...you are vunerable right now and may not be clear minded enough to date yes its been a while, but dating is tricky and your heart can get involved before you are really ready
Yes it is a fun distraction, but there are better distractions/hobbies until we are healed and then we would be more ready to make a good choice
just my 2 cents-- but as always follow your heart
