When you lose someone you were close to, whether it was a lover, family member, friend, etc. It can be hard to move on, because they may have been the most important person in the world for you, they were the light on your rainy days. First things first, if you wish to forget or cannot seem to forget them, it is because this person has made an imprint in your sensory areas of your brains. If they have impacted your life in a positive way, then it's best to not forget them. It is difficult to move on because you loved them your whole life, and it really damages you mentally when they pass away or leave. If they have passed away, it can grievously impact you, especially if you already have problems currently, since it can push you into a deeper pit which you seem to never get out of.
Never try to stick to what has happened, try to think of anything positive or those happy moments you've had with them, talk to a trusted adult, counselor, or therapist about how you feel, let out your emotions and don't attempt to bottle them up because it can create emotional pain that can develop a habit. Don't try to hurt yourself or others, it can cause greater pain than you think. Don't blame yourself either, instead, try to reach into your memory if you ever did anything seriously bad to them, if you haven't then you don't really have a reason to blame yourself. Try to use coping mechanisms, because losing someone can risk your health mentally, my recommendations is to download 'Calm Harm' and 'Evolve', since they are also recommended by a doctor, Calm Harm gives ways to let out emotions without hurting yourself and Evolve gives a sort of counseling.
Some ways to prevent self-harming:
Write down your feelings
Punch it out - punch a pillow, stuffed animals or anything soft to let it out
Grab a marker and draw little images on where you want to hurt yourself
Write down 10 things you love the most
Write down what makes you angry, people or situations, and then tear it up
Listening to music or doing some activities to refresh and clear your mind from any negative thoughts
These are just some examples-
Just some clarification, I am not a doctor nor a therapist, I am just a regular teenager who has also gone through similar situations and wish to give advice for others who are either barely experiencing or are in this sort of situations. I hope this sort of helps for those seeking advice and hope you the best!

Not stuffed animals. That's symbolic of real animals. Choose a pillow which looks like nothing.
