I'm sure your Mom is close by and wanting to help you thru the sad moments. Everyone grieves in their own way and at their own pace. Sometimes it is remembering the happy or funny moments you both shared that helps. And other times, shedding a tear and having some compassion for yourself is what helps. Sometimes it's just a feeling of warmth and love around your shoulders that helps you to know or feel the presence of a loved one. It can take several months or longer. Maybe talking to your Dad and sharing feelings would help both of you to find loving peace and comfort in the days ahead.
