Wounds do heal, Aimlee. Soon, you will be able to think more of all the wonderful things you associate with your Mother, and these memories will soften and soothe the wound of her passing. You have not lost her - she is close to you. You will be able to accept other special people in your life while still benefitting from all the special moments you have already had with your Mom. Be gentle and be patient with yourself and the healing will come.
