Does the pain of the death of a loved one decrease over time or do you just grow around it?

Meaning, if you stop and remember them, does it hurt just the same?

I think it's more that the pain becomes a part of you. I don't think it lessens, but you become used to it so it's not so jarring when it pops up.
