A person who is grieving needs to be able to talk when they want to, without being judged. The wrong thing to do is say something like "they're in a better place" or "we need to move on and be happy with our memories". That is like saying..."oh, stop thinking about it and get on with your life"..cruel and uncaring.
Some people recover from their grief quickly, some take much longer. Allowing her to be herself, to talk, cry, or be quiet when she wants is the best you can do. If she wants to talk about your memories, that's great. Don't be afraid to talk about him. I think survivors sometimes worry that their loved one will be forgotten.
Do things to help make her life easier, and very slowly empower her with knowing that she will be ok without him. I'm glad you're there for her. I'm very sorry for your loss. :(

Just be there to talk and listen. Help your mom remember the good times with your dad. It is a very lonely time after a loved one dies and just knowing that you are there will help her out alot. You both have to grieve and there is not set time line for this to happen.

seem, i'm an atheist, so i'd no longer be the most suitable individual to respond to this question, yet when the god you've faith in is something like honest, that is no longer likely to think about some prayers stated (or no longer) contained in the minutes before lack of existence to be as significant because the known of the guy for the duration of existence, so i might want to say that the function of very last rites, even for believers isn't to guarantee a short luge-holiday to heaven, yet to furnish convenience to those human beings that're nevertheless the following. I advise, you've faith that there is someone operating the tutor, correct? someone who makes each little thing workout contained in the suited, no longer merely a bunch of arbitrary guidelines - so I doubt lacking one sacrament is going to make a distinction to everybody's eternal reward.

My mom died a couple of years ago, and so my dad started a greif journal. It wasn't meant to help him not feel so bad, but because he wanted to remember and capture all those feelings. Feelings are like the weather, they come and go without our control. Don't feel any pressure to change your feelings or justify them or even to feel bad or guilty over any feelings- they will move as they please. Just remember right now that your family is in a midst of a storm that will pass... so don't get angry at one another or make big decisions, or even try to make future plans until things settle down. Support your mom, and help her rest for a while until you both feel its time to start reexamining what to do next with your lives.
