I lost my mother seven years ago last week - and it's been on my mind, not unexpectedly. And I lost my mother due to an accident. Hurricane Irene hit us here in New York, lots of damage, and my mother fell downstairs in the dark when the lights went out. She was 85, was a little unsteady after hip replacement, but otherwise healthy. I kept thinking she would recover.
My advice to you is to be good to yourself. This is an extremely tough loss and no matter her age, that doesn't matter - she was your Mom. Stick close to those who loved her, too - talk about her, savor the good memories, do whatever it is that comforts you. And always remember how lucky you were to have each other and that she loved you like nobody else and that she would want you to be happy.
