The pain of losing some dear to the heart especially someone's mother does not go away in a flash. It more of less is stuck with the person for a very long period of time till the person gets used to the fact that his/her mother is gone and ain't coming back.
There is no manual, book or a proven law that indicates how long the pain of losing a mother or any dear one would last before finally accepting that the person is gone forever.
As we are individually unique as individuals, so does the way we reason, think and feel. To some they can move on almost instantly after they lose their mother or someone dear, this doesn't mean they are heartless it just means they might either not be very close to the person or they have accepted the irreparable loss and know that the person won't come back even if they mourn for years. On the other hand, there are other sets of people who feel empathy a lot and they tend to mourn for long, they tend not to accept the fact that the person is gone in a whim not until the person is buried or they can't see the person do things they do before.
But generally as humans, mothers are very much important to our existence and when one losses his/her mother it naturally takes long to forget it and let go of the pain especially when the mother was lost while the child was in hi/her formative years.
The pain of losing ones mother can rage for as low as a month and as long as years. It all boils down to the fact that whenever you think of things your mother do that she can't do anymore you'd always remember her and feel the pain in your heart. Some can forget the pain easily and some can't forget it easily, but as they say time heals, with time the pain of losing her in your heart would heal, you wouldn't forget her totally but you'd have let go of the pain and your heart would have been healed.
