I endorse what lovelyladymonk said. I too was at my father's side when he
died and the truth is that to this day i shed a quiet tear occasionally, although on the funeral day, I never shed a single tear.

RobDon,
Sadness is always the hardest part of death. Over time, the aching will ease a little but part of you will always miss your mum. Even though he's been away from me for so long now, I still miss my great-grandfather terribly. There are still days when I cry for him and still days when I almost wish I had broken my promise to him.
I wish I had some words that would take some of your sadness away, but the awful truth is, I don't. I can only try to assure you your mum was grateful and blessed to have you with her in the end. You were a good son to her and that's what she wants you to remember now.
Don't shun your sadness. Embrace it and more importantly, let it embrace you. Cry often and for ever how long you need. Try to be gracious to yourself in allowing yourself time to heal.
My thoughts will be with you...
