There's no way around it. Have a cry about it. Accept that it hurts, don't deny or suppress the pain.
What helped me a lot was reading Ben Horowitz's "The Hard Thing About Hard Things."
In the end you just have to admit it sucks and that's okay. You have to be the tough guy/girl. I remember a YC lecture once which said that the ideal founder is like James Bond. It's a strange image but it got me through it.
