As I learned in Grief counselling.  The emotions is like a spiral.  You will have your ups and downs.  Some days you will feel ok and other days you will feel angry or horribly depressed.  

What helps for me is I believe that when a person physically dies, they are still with us in Energy form or spirit.  They become our Guardians.  It doesn't help with the fact that you cannot see them when you want but sometimes a song will come on, or you will get a smell of their perfume/cologne etc.

Dream visitation can happen as well.  When you are sleeping, your guard is down.  If you have dreams about your mum and she is happy and well she is probably visiting you in your dreams.  If it's not happening just yet, it may be because of the grief being too strong.  

I just lost my father in February of this year.  With this thought for me, I know he is around me.  He lived 6 hours away from me in the Physical life.

Hi Sonya:

Losing a parent is never easy.  When I lost my Dad last year it was the hardest thing for me to cope with.  We were very close and I loved him dearly.  I posted a blog about my experience and to help others.  What I found is that thinking about death in a different way makes you feel differently.  Energy is neither created nor destroyed.  Our bodies are energy.  So the way I thought about it is, my Dad is not dead, he just went some place else and the body on earth is temporary.  Now where that energy went we won't know until we experience it.  I don't think of it as death.  I still miss him and I still cry, but I know he wouldn't want me to, just as your Mom wouldn't want you to.  So think of all the beautiful places your Mom could be, her energy had to go somewhere.  The body on earth is just a temporary vessel.  Hope this helps, have a blessed day!
