I did not know your mother but I am sure it was hard to lose such a loved one. We have all lost someone we love but we can talk to God in prayer at Psalms chapter 55 verse 22 it says: Throw your burdens on God and he will sustain you. Prayer is not merely a crutch it is real communication with the God who comforts us in all of our trails, may your family talk to God in prayer and get through this difficult time.
