Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.
(Revelation 21:4)

I am sorry for your loss. No matter how old or how well our parents are it leaves a big open place in our heart. Remember well the time you spent with her, I truly believe that might be all we leave behind here on earth.
