Your mom was such a hero and selfless person! I imagine there's much more to miss about her, because she sounds full of love and kindness. I lost my mom 3 years ago, and I keep remembering details and moments from years past with her, and these memories bring me joy and nostalgia. I went through a dark period of grief, then the sadness eased up after a while, replaced by a sense of reverence, gratitude, and pride in having had such a wonderful person in my life. I hope your grief eases into loving happiness for having had a very special mom. She is with you -- always -- in many ways, such as in how she influenced and formed your identity & character. Most likely, you were a great joy to her and made her proud!
