Assalamualaikum...
Thank you so much for all your responses. It has been very comforting to me. I just came back from visiting my late mother's grave - I am taking it one day at a time. I find it difficult to accept that she's gone now because it was so sudden. I guess all this while, I thought if there should be a death in the family, I would be prepared for it but of course, newborn and death is all in Allah's hands, not ours.
I have come to accept that my mother is no longer with us but in my heart, she will forever stay. I will remember her always in my doa. I just wish I had spent the last day of her life with her....
Thank you again each and everyone of you who have taken the time to post - it means a lot to me and it keeps me going....
