Any tips on bonding with a new cat while dealing with the grief of losing one?

My Maine Coon passed away about twoish months ago extremely unexpectedly. It has been incredibly hard on me, we were really close, really best friends. He followed me everywhere obsessively and I even have a video of me crying and him running over and wiping my tears with his paw. It was a very special bond. I miss him immensely. My boyfriend just told me he’s getting me a Ragdoll kitten for my birthday. He’s a gorgeous kitten and I know I’ll love him, but I keep crying over my cat who passed. I’m worried about feeling like I’m replacing him or having high expectations for the personality of the new kitten. But I don’t want the kitten to feel any of my anxiety because I’ve read Ragdolls are very emotionally intelligent. Does anyone have any advice for moving forward with a new kitten after losing such a special bond and friend? Sorry for any rambling.
