Most of us know the 5 stages of grief but contrary to popular belief they don't always come in order and you can experience some stages over and over and some not at all.
You are justified in these feelings.
My personal take on loss is this
It never gets easier and you never forget. BUT it does get more manageable. The metaphorical scars do heal. Pain becomes less sharp and overwhelming And yes the sun will come up tomorrow.
Everyone copes differently. Sometimes seeking professional help is the answer. Sometimes just being able to vent helps.

Bottom line. You are absolutely allowed to feel the way you feel.
I believe in you! You'll get through this.
The funny thing is my mom and I were not really all that close guess that is because she was abusive mostly verbually but she also physically abusive but I forgave her I had to .Doesnt do any good to be angry at someone and besides when she got older I felt bad for her,she died in June this year was 90 and lost the will to live ,I hope that if I ever get like where Id ont want to eat or take my meds just want to sleep all day my family will just let me go, I have told my son if I become like my mom please just let me go,I miss her at least I got to tell her that I loved her before she passed away,Some days all I do is sit and cry.I wish I could just call her and say I love you mom,I long to hear her voice
