Dan,
I would like to send you and the rest of your family our deepest sympathy at the terrible loss of your mum, reading your post I could clearly see your mum was a very special person, thanks for sharing that insight, I pray that God would somehow grant you comfort and healing in the weeks, months and years ahead, mums are very precious people and we never really get over the loss of them.
I am not sure if your interested but I was talking to someone else recently who had lost their mum, I put in some ideas about creating a memory box, don’t know if this might help you or other family members, but worth you having a read if you ever get the time.
Take care
Michaela
