I am trying to get over my drepression over over her death before I start
Maybe doing something with your mom's stuff will help with the depression. a group of us were talking about how to get through a mourning period and several ideas were: a photo collage, scrapbooking or journalling about the person. quilting would fit in there too. don't let anyone push you to do it before you're ready, but it could help. I'll be praying for you.
