Hi Trevor....and sincere regrets for the loss of your mum.
I lost my mother when I was quite young. Although sad that I didn't get any chance to develop an enduring and mature relationship with her...in some ways it has spared me the agony of losing her as an 'adult'.
Nothing can really prepare you for their departure...but it's comforting to know you are surrounded by friends.
You also can't prepare for how you'll react. I've lost pets and cried harder than I'd ever expect....and had lesser reactions to other circumstances where I thought I'd blubber like a baby. Go figure. It's all a giant lottery, anyway, eh mate?
Let things be what they'll be.
All the best.
Matt.
