I also agree with the others that when you're ready, you should consider adopting another cat for Lucy. When my Pepper passed away in early Feb. last year, I still had Storm and Sunny but I knew that I'd get another cat some time soon. Sunny was wanting to play a lot and so he'd bug Storm while he was trying to sleep. I knew I needed another young male cat.

I adopted Cirrus in March and Sunny was very scared of him at first but now they're best friends. I also ended up adopting Sky in June and Storm loves him very much. For some reason Storm doesn't like Cirrus because he's very jealous of him but all of my other furkids get along with each other.

Adopting Cirrus and Sky really helped me adjust to the loss of Pepper. They're not substitutes for him but have made it much easier to deal with his loss. Now I have a happy cat family again.
