Ask HN: Losing a parent and desire to work

About 3 weeks ago I lost my father suddenly. I've been attempting to deal with his loss day by day. He was truly my best friend and since depression took a hold of me, my only friend. Losing him just about destroyed me but I kept up appearances for the sake of my mother. Of course I realize that the world moves on and so I had to get back to work.

But I just can't. I build websites and webapps and I must also be enthusiastic and creative with technology. But it seems all so trivial to me now. I go to work each day worried that I'll fail to live up to my employer's expectations simply because I've lost all zest for technology.

I suppose I'd like to know if there are other HN'ers that have been through something similar. How long did it take you to get back into the game and be enthusiastic about technology and your job?
