Dear Caroline,
Keep her memories like treasure and carry them with you wherever you go. I can feel your pain as I had lost my mother too....her memories will make you feel that she is not gone for ever rather she is just away in a place where she is surrounded by God's love and will be there with you whenever you think of her.
May God give you strength to cope.
