You are not alone. Lost my mom in '85, dad in 1991, and older, estranged brother in 2001. That's the end of a branch of our family tree ( no other siblings, one lost niece).
Your pain may never completely leave, but I wish for you my course. May your daily thoughts about family gone before, turn to memories of the good times had together. Sadness to thankfulness of the good times. Pain turns to nostalgia. Nostalgia wanes to thoughts of life's gifts. That you had time to cultivate memories to help shield from the pain of having them gone.
