I know it has to happen, but as I get older, I find it harder to get over for some reason. The fact that my son lived through the same emotions and reactions as I did at the same age, brought me back to when I was 11 and my grandad passed away & that sense of loss & not having said goodbye properly. He was more fortunate than me though, he had accompanied him to the hospital to prep him (grandad) for his operation the next day. He then recalled that his grandad said he loved him & had really hugged him tight. For him though, it wasn't enough as he would have wanted to say goodbye in his own way.
If you get a chance (and I know life doesn't give you the luxury of choosing much) it's very important you consciously let go of that life and say your goodbyes & share the moments you can with the person you love - it helps with the mourning process for sure!
