My mom is only 17 years older than me so I hope to still have her around if I make it to 80
Eros, don't fall into the temptation to grieve all day, do something nice in memory of your mother, even if it's just to have a glass of champaign and toast good and funny memories. I did that recently on the 1st anniversary of losing a special friend and it not only made the day much better I found it helped in letting go of some guilt (which I had blown much bigger than it should have been or my friend would have wanted).
