I can't say I really "know" (in the truest sense of the word) how you feel b/c I haven't lost my mother or had to go through something as rough as all that. But, I can/do sympathize. Christmas just isn't the same anymore without my grandma. She was the glue that held our family together, and most of our traditions centered around her. When she died, so did our traditions and a little crack went through our family.
I agree w/ what someone else said - that you should try to create your own traditions w/ your son/family. That's the best way to heal.
