This story is very good. The story arc is not traditional, because the narrator is lost in an endless loop of grief. The cliche is that 'it gets better with time'. In the case of this narrator, time is like salt in the wound. As the years pass, grief over a lost mother grows almost pathological, so that the narrator must separate herself from all that reminds her of the loss. That separation even includes an alienation from self.

Very well written. Very moving. I hope to see more stories from you in the future.
