Phil, what can be said to try and heal the open sore we create for ourselves when our loved ones transition from this life? You have the warmth of your mother's love with you, that you will always have, and you must know that you gave her a gift that most children would never achieve, the devotion of a loving son. I for one do not believe that life ends when the heart ceases its beating, that the force which makes us what we are continues in another space. If I am correct, then your mother will be with you always, hold fast to her memories, but open yourself to the possibility that she continues to walk with you. Don't dishonor her by cheating yourself from the life she worked so hard to prepare you for. Look at your handsome face in the mirror, smile and know that she continues to live because you are here! Reach out to those around you Phil, show the love that was given you to those who have none. Through this you will bring honor to your mother and peace to your soul.
Big hugs to you Phil, rest your head and let go of your pain, it is neither your friend or companion. It blinds you from the beauty of the past and that which awaits you.
