I know it is hard to hear the words that time heals all wounds, but take it from my experience, it does help. The loss will always be there, but what I try to do is concentrate on all the goods memories of the people I have lost and even once in awhile I get a smile on my face. We honor our loved ones with our memories and the hope we will be reunited again one day. I can almost see your "mom" wagging her finger at you and it is telling you that she wants you to enjoy your sewing once again. I am sure the winter days aren't helping any either - can you get any special lights? Good luck with what you are going through - you will make it!!!
