Gotta be a hard one, however it hits. Be strong....wishing you all the best.
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
all i would say is that if there was a good bond between you and your mother, then regardless of any geographical distance, that would have been a constant comfort to her and a source of great pride and happiness for her at any time.
the heart is a small planet and loved ones are always close by us. and that closeness endures beyond lifetimes. you will feel your mother with you for the rest of your life. we are never alone.
the other thing i would say is try to talk with those people you are closest to about how you are dealing with this. don't get lost inside yourself with your stresses and troubles.
men particularly (statistically, not meaning to stereotype you) are prone to putting on a brave face and self-isolating when adversity strikes. but that can prevent people who would like support you from getting in. which is self-defeating. maybe you will heal better and faster with their support. accept love.
stay strong. life is good.
People talk about 'getting over' bereavement. I don't think one really does, but over time you do learn to live with it and accept it. Warm memories help.

I lost my Dad 3 years ago. Many people say it gets easier, I just think you get more used to the big hole they left. I still occasionally pick up my phone to call him when I'm watching City or Wigan on tv.
