I know I'm new to posting around here, but I just wanted to offer my condolences. I'm so sorry for your loss.
As to how long? Everyone is different. Be easy with yourself and give yourself time to grieve. However long that takes.
I'm so sorry.
ETA: I can help but think about losing my dad. It was so long ago, but I have truly never been the same. The only way I can describe it is that you figure out your new reality. It had never really stopped hurting, but it's become more of a dull ache over time, as opposed to the sharp pain that it was for a long time. Again, be easy with yourself and don't let anyone put time limits on how you should feel.

Ditto the others that your baby will be fine through your grief no matter how you choose to express it (or not). Of course be sure you eat and take care of yourself, but you can't change how you feel right now (nor should you), and letting it out is probably much better for you emotionally than bottling it up anyway.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's good he was surrounded by those he loved. May many happy memories ease your grief. You and your family are in my thoughts.
Megachoo, I'm so sorry for your loss. Don't worry about normal right now. Process your emotions as you're able to and know there's no right/wrong way or timeline. In your time, your new normal will emerge. Be good to yourself. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
