I think I know a bit about what you're getting through. My mother died in january 2006. It's still very fresh in my memory.

About you and her personal things I guess that it's better for you to do this as fast as possible. I don't see something positive in postponing it.

NOW when I say "My sincere codolences" it does'nt have the same weight as when I said it when my mother was alive. Now I know what it really means.
