Physical Ache of Grief

I don't know if this should go here or elsewhere (please move if it should be somewhere else).
Has anyone ever experienced an actual kind of physical ache following grief? I can't really explain it but I currently have this overwhelming feeling of desperation...like I really must see him and see him now. Almost as if my mind still can't comprehend that it just isn't possible and my inner 5 year old self is saying "but why can't I see him?"
Unfortunately a colleague passed away at the weekend and I'm not sure if that has stirred up these feelings but this overwhelming need to see my Dad has never felt like this before and I just didn't know if it was considered "normal"? It isn't making me feel low or anything. It just feels weird...like I am arguing with myself - its almost as if I have two people in my head - the logical one who knows it isn't possible and the other one that keeps repeating "but why?"
Sorry, I know this makes no sense...just wondered if it was common...
