The articles underlying theme is there is no right way to grieve or mourn the death of a parent...all bets are off and I could not agree more.
I think of my mother everyday in the most positive of ways, little stored vignettes of goodness that frame my life, still resonate. I never once cried about or lamented upon her death. While premature in many ways, her passing was nearly a blessing given her unstinting fight against the emperor of all maladys. We as a family had time to prepare, to look into the mystic of why.
If not yet accomplished, I will recommend that you get your mother's legal affairs in order, build the cookbook of expectations now. Appropriate, specific sharing of your mother's wishes will color everything on her passing, ease the pain by not adding doubt.
Best.
