Just lost my beautiful mum to Ovarian cancer

I just recently lost my beautiful mum to ovarian cancer, and I am devastated. She is my best friend. She is only 58 and the most sweetest, kindest and selfless person I know. My heart feels broken and I feel so lost without her. I miss her so much and just want to see her again. I have been crying everyday, and don’t know if it will ever stop. I feel like there’s a hole in my heart where my mum used to be. I am just so heartbroken and this pain is so unbearable at times. I have no motivation to do anything and feel so empty without her.
