My mom died in 1991, too. She was a month shy of her 51st birthday. The pain never completely goes away...we just have fewer bad days, and more good days when we can laugh and smile at the good memories.
I'm sending you lots and lots of hugs and prayers. We never, ever, stop missing them.
Be extra gentle with yourself, today, okay?
Hugs and prayers!
