I think avlady has great advice here. I also lost my mom (three Novembers ago). It's going to be hard for a long time and you will probably have to force yourself to do things, but it will get better. Start with one room and ignore the rest of your house for now.
Find yourself some purely sensory experiences that you can have. Go for walks. See, hear, feel taste and smell things consciously. Your senses are your friends. They are trying to heal you.
Keep in touch and let us know how it's going.
