Stephany,
I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Having lost my dad recently, I would highly recommend grief counseling offered by hospice. They really are wonderful. In fact, they call and follow-up with me regularly, and it's truly been a big help. Grief too is a journey and it takes awhile to adjust. Slowly but surely I am confident that you will find peace, and you will always have wonderful memories of your loving mother.
I wish you and your family all of my best. Please take care of yourself during this difficult time, and really consider utilizing the support groups available to you.
