And it's hard to honor her memory when there was so much pain.
How did you grieve? How have you been doing with the loss of your mc?

I would recommend trying to read, "You Can Heal Your Heart: Finding Peace After a Breakup, Divorce, or Death." My current therapist recommended it to me a few years ago to help cope with chronic, severe depression after the death of my maternal grandmother in 2010.
Obviously death isn't literally similar to a broken relationship, platonic, professional, or romantic, but it's definitely metaphorically for a lot of people.
Also, if you haven't already, you could try reading the classic, "On Death and Dying," by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.
Anyways, just a suggestion that I found helpful.
