I can't get over iron man's death

I watched the marvel series for the first time five months ago. As I watched the whole series, I got really attached to Tony Stark. I often created an attachment to fictional characters but the one with him was nothing like those. I saw him as the father figure I never had. Right after crying my eyes out at endgame, I looked up ways to cope with the gut-wrenching feeling. I tried everything. Avoiding any media that had to do with marvel, trying to accept my feelings, crying while watching the death scene again, reading fan-fictions about an alternative ending where he doesn't die, distracting myself with other stuff, giving it some time, talking about this w my therapist etc. Nothing worked & I actually got physically ill from all the stress. Ik it's just a fictional character but I can't control this sadness. Can anybody share a way that helped getting over his death?
