What you are feeling is completely normal. I've been there.... 3 times over a 10 year period actually. I always found that TTCing straight away made me feel a lot better.... it somehow gave me a sense of power which got me away from that feeling of having no control that was there when the m/c occurred.
If it was an early loss there's probably no reason for you to wait. Doctors sometimes tell you to wait a while so there's no issue with dating a pregnancy should you fall pregnant without having a period first.
I had 3 pregnancies last year until I got one that stuck. It was an incredibly difficult year. Unfortunately past 35 the m/c risk is high but I'm sure you are already aware of this. Chances are you will conceive again soon, hopefully it wont take as long as last time. My pregnancies last year took 9 months, then about 4 months then about 3 months. I was shocked how quickly the subsequent ones occurred. My m/c risk is even higher than yours due to my age (42) yet I still managed to succeed. My little boy is now 6 weeks old.
After a while I found the best way to deal with my jealousy of pregnant women (and those with young babies) was to imagine that they too may have suffered miscarriage or infertility before they had their bub. I then felt happy for them, but still sad for myself.
I got a few glances during my pregnancy that I felt were from women who'd suffered losses or who'd tried for years to get pregnant - I could see the pain in their eyes. Little did they know I was once one of them.
