Let time determine that. It's right to wait, I see too many people try to get a new dog, and while they mean well, that dog is first most a replacement, and that should never happen. A new relationship should be about it alone, and not a past one.
My son lost his dog a bit ago, and while they haven't decided if or when they'd do another, what they did do is offer fostering for other dogs on a limited (few days) basis. They miss the routine, I think.
Know that no matter what you do, it doesn't downplay what you had, that will be forever.
