My deepest condolences... I know it's tough losing a parent. My dad passed away...hell nearly seven years ago. It's still kinda rough sometimes.
Regardless of your religious views, it's best to think that she's in a better place right now.
Hang in there, man.

Wayne if it helps I 'd like to share something with you. When I was a teenager my grandfather passed away. He wasn't the first relative I'd lost, but at the time he was the by far the closest person I'd lost in terms of emotional attachment. I'm usually pretty good in times of crisis, always have been (it's normal day to day stuff that always does me in). I tried to be stoic about it, be strong for everyone else involved, and my mom saw that I was holding back tears, and she said something to me that has stuck, "It's ok to cry, he was worth it." Since then over the years I've lost a few other people and I always remember to make time and space to personally grieve. I find that the best way is to share what I remember about the person with others, so I think if you want to tell us about your mom, that your community of close, semi-anonymous friends would be glad to listen.

Let me just say, from personal experience (i lost my grandmother last summer), the best way to deal with such a loss is to remember.
Remember not the fact that she is gone......but what she was and loved when she was alive. Keep that memory in your heart and eyes forever, and you'll never be without her.
If i miss my grandmother i just think back to her cheezecake, or how she woke me up for work at the end of my freshman year at college.
Be strong bro, and may the force be with you.

In April of '96 I lost my grandmother. She had been like a mother to me all my life. Despite the fact that I'd had years to prepare for it -- she died of lung cancer caused by second-hand smoke-- that really didn't help when it finally happened. Well... I had thought I was prepared for it. I think after that I spent the next year in shock and disbelief as I distanced myself from the rest of my family, moved away from my home town, and started over with no one but myself to rely on.
In retrospect I wish I could have just talked out the grief and allowed myself to mourn, but it was one of those things that caused me to take risks I wouldn't have otherwise taken and helped get me to the happy place I'm finally at in life. This will be a difficult time for you, and the grief will linger for years afterwards and never go away completely. Just remember to allow yourself to mourn and hang in there. She would want you to go on with your life and learn from the guidance she has given you through the years.

My Condolences.
My condolences...
My mother died back in Summer 1998 one day before her 65 birthday. She died because of uterine carcinoma.
Although I'm myself a medical professional at work I could do nothing to save her.
I knew that I couldn't because of my experience and I accepted that long before my brothers and in particular my dad could.
I couldn't explained it to them, though, because they won't listen so they drove her from hospital to hospital.
It was terrible for her and for them. Sometimes it's good if you know that someone is already beyond any rescue means.
The most of the time I think it's only hard for the ones which are left behind but the soul of your mother is flying through the Universe just as we speak.
I guess we cannot even fathom the freedom of her spirit she now has access to.
