Time will help a lot, but of course, that doesn't help her now. February
isn't long enough ago at this point and probably next February won't be
either. Grief counseling may help. Have you asked your mom if it's
something she'd like to do? She may not want to just yet, but later on it
might be helpful. It might be to early for her to consider it since she's
wrapped up in memories. You can help by talking to her, making sure she's
ok. How old was he, is she?

How are you doing? It has to be affecting you as well.
