I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a loved one is never easy and it can take a lot of time to process the emotions that come with it. It is completely normal to miss your mom and feel overwhelming sadness, longing, and emptiness. From a Buddhist perspective, it is important to recognize that everything in life is impermanent, including the people we love, and that death is a natural part of life. This understanding can help us accept and cope with the pain of loss. From a psychological perspective, it is important to allow yourself to grieve and experience your emotions. It is okay to cry, to feel angry, to feel numb, or to have moments of happiness as well. Everyone grieves differently, so don't compare your process to others. Try to take care of yourself by eating well, sleeping, and engaging in activities that bring you joy. It's also helpful to talk to others who have experienced loss, a therapist, or a grief support group. As a coach, I would recommend that you create a special ritual or tradition to honor your mom's memory. This could be something simple like lighting a candle or saying a prayer, or something more elaborate like planting a memorial garden or creating a scrapbook. Doing something to remember and celebrate your mom's life can provide comfort and a sense of connection. It's also important to focus on self-care and reaching out to loved ones for support. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.
