My heart goes out with deepest sympathy regarding your Mother. I know that your grief in losing such a special loved one must be overwhelming. God promises that he will give you support at this time at 2 Corinthians 4:7 which says that God can give us "... power beyond what is normal," to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that you will no longer cry or that you will forget, but it means you will recover. You will recover because of the hope he had written down. Jesus Christ talked about this hope in John 5:28 "... all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out." Jesus was referring to the resurrection, this is the amazing hope! The Bible likens hope to an anchor. Just like an anchor stabilizes a ship, hope will stabilize you, keep you from drowning in overwhelming sadness. 2 Corinthians 1:3 describes our Creator as, "... the God of all comfort." Another way that God will comfort you is by moving people who care about you to give you words of encouragement that you need to hear. When he brings the reality of his promised resurrection of your Mom in sound health, he will replace your tears of pain with tears of joy.
