Sorry to hear about your loss.
My favourite aunt died of smoking-induced cancer when I was very young and affected me quite badly at the time, the main reason why I'm so anti-smoking even today. The worst thing I can remember was watching her go through the various stages until her death.
Then again I suppose death is never easy on us.

So sorry to hear of your loss and i don't know what i'd do if that ever happened to me. Keep strong, live life, i'm sure thats what she would have wanted for you.
She's up there watching over you mate, and someday you'll see each other again...

My condolences to you and your family at this difficult time.

As one who has also lost a parent I can understand a tiny bit of what you're going though James. You will get used to it eventually but you will never forget your Mum and she will have died never forgetting you and your family. Remember she is now at peace and suffering no pain and will be enjoying that G&T (or other drink/book/flowers/peace). Mourn for a while but don't forget.
Remember all the good times and the time spent with her. She will still be watching you and enjoying all your achievements and experiences of life.
RIP James' Mum.

That's grief beyond words.
My thoughts are with you mate.
Keep up the hope, however hard it gets.

As someone who lost thier mother to cancer, I can fully sympathise with you, and even thinking about it now wells tears up in my eyes.
It's been 9 years now since my mum passed, 5 years ago for my dad, and yet I still find myself reaching for the phone to call.
As someone said above, you're going to go through a FLOOD of emotions, some you're not going to feel comfortable with. It's not going to seem right to be laughing about something at a time like this, but in remembering your life with your mum, you're going to remember some funny **** that you'd forgotten about. Trust me, it's alright to laugh about it and to spread the humor. It's also perfectly alright to just suddenly burst into tears for absolutely no reason at all. It took me two years to stop doing that after my dad was gone...... well maybe not. I still (occasionally) have it happen.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. And yes, you're right. 47 is too young. Hell, the 58 years my mum had weren't enough.
