I find that for some people, memorializing the lost one somehow can help, and there are a lot of ways to do so. If you're a creative person, you could try writing something, an online post or a journal entry reflecting on Hebe's life and what he meant to you. If you want a tangible reminder you could sculpt or paint a likeness of him, or create a photo collage to hang, or even just get a nice photo framed as a remembrance. (You could commission an artist or a creative friend to do any of these things as well.)
You could make a donation in Hebe's name to your local animal welfare society or reptile group, purchase a memorial at a pet cemetery, or get a memorial of some kind made for your home or yard.
Like Reinz suggesting, even just looking at photos and telling stories about him may be able to help you with the sudden loss.
You have my condolences, and I hope you're able to find a way to cope with this that works for you. I'm definitely sorry to hear about your snake.
