Jennifer, grief is so. There are days when one can't stop crying, others when one feels angry and so on. Grief and depression can seem alike, but they are not.
You cannot avoid grief. It never fades totaly away, but it becomes more easy to live with as time goes. I have come to the conclusion that if I start crying in grief, I can set a daily limit for that at one hour as an example. That puts borders around the crying time and finds a way out to do somehing.
We are of course all different. What works for me do not have to work for you. I just wanted to mention it in case you have day when you can use it.
Repressed grief can hit back later. Don't try to be clever because of your mother. That is not the best in the long run. You both have to deal with the grief of each other.
Thinking on you!
