Everyone deals with their pain differently. I personally prefer my own moments to look back. It's not wrong to cry, and it's definitely not something that you have a limited time to do. If it means crying daily, then do it. Eventually you will come to grips with it all and learn to live with the loss. Reading passages in the bible that remind you of the wonderful life she has ahead may help. Talking to a preacher/minister may help. Creating your own scrapbook of memories, whether it be written down memories of special moments you've shared with her or pictures may help. I will keep you in my prayers and hope that your pain subsides and your memories live forever with you.

I'm so sorry. I'v never lost my mother, but I'v lost my father. I can only suggest that you do what I do: Take time... Cry when you want...write letters to your mother... read books about grief (C.S. Lewis " A Grief Observed)...Donate your time or money in honour of your mother's memory...Talk to others who loved her as much or almost as much as you.
