It's okay, dear. You're recovering. Your question shows that you're at Stage 6 of the Kubler Ross grief cycle as described here. You're only one stage away from the "Acceptance stage".

I suspect that you feel that letting go and moving on would be something akin to betraying your mother. Understand that your mother would have wanted you to be happy. So let go and move on.

You will always have your memories.

Lots of love,
