    My mother died over a month ago and we never had a good relationship. She got ill several years ago but our relationship did not improve. Even still, I am finding it hard as I miss the idea of having a mother but not her (she was physically and mentally abusive). I never got closure on the abuse, she never explained it, not that I think that abuse can ever be explained but I would have liked her to say sorry.

    This may sound strange but I would suggest writing your mother a letter; telling her all you were unable to say in life, all the feelings you have kept buried. Keep the letter for a while then bury or burn it. This is what I intend to do when my adopted mother dies.
