The primary one who suffers from a person's death is their spouse, who feels the loss most deeply.

("No man dies except for his wife—as it is said: ‘And Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died’; and no woman dies except for her husband—as it is said: ‘And as I came from Paddan, Rachel died upon me’"—Sanhedrin 22b. Also: "No woman dies except for her husband. He did not heed the advice of counselors and did not remarry"—Agnon, A City and Its Fullness, 185.)
