My mother died 3 years ago from lung cancer. She had been an alcoholic for 20 years, and I feel safe in saying I was very codependent. I cry every day, remembering her death. I feel like I have post traumatic stress disorder. I can't get her death out of my mind. I feel very guilty that I had criticized her terribly for her drinking, and I never knew she had cancer until 2 weeks before she died. We were very close. Any words of wisdom/consolation? Al Anon/adult children of alc. never makes me feel any better.

Are you still living in the same place? The easy answer is to move, you have too many memories there.
Sounds like you could use some grief counseling. Contact your local NAMI and see if they can point you in the right direction:

I think i would go get conseling if i could........it always helps to talk to someone about your problems..........i'm very sorry that your Mom died.......i know it's gonna be very hard on me when my Mom goes........my best friend's Mom died a few month's ago and she is still not over it....she dreams about her Mom all the time and i think she is still very depressed...they were very close also.......i told her the same..........she needs to go get counseling...good luck and god bless
