Death

The people I knew who have died were people who I had lost touch with and never really was very close to (although on the whole I had a lot of respect for them, even if I never said it). Considering how they were nowhere near as close as a parent could be, and also how I still feel about them when I think about them, I couldn't even begin to comprehend how it must feel to lose someone so close to you.

Everyone has their own way of coping with loss but one thing I would recommend is talking. Bottling things up will only make things worse. You just have to take it one day at a time. No one can promise you that it will all be better in the morning, but it will get better. If you can think of any way of honouring her memory, through any medium, it might help you to gain closure.
