Hi Elspeth
It's always traumatic when a loved one has to go into care, whether it's hospital or NH. It sounds as if your mum is accepting her new home. All you have to do now is accept it yourself!
You are lucky that your mum is not asking to come home, but in a way that is just as hard, because you are the one doing the grieving. You're bound to feel strange, living in your mum's house with her no longer there.
Just give it time. Provided your mum continues to he settled, you'll soon begin to accept.
I'm glad you're beginning to feel better yourself, with the relief of your pain.
Love,
