Diolma, I'm not terribly religious either... what I found comforting when my grandma passed away is to think of her "afterlife" being in memories of her, things she instilled in her children (my mom and my aunt) and in her grandchildren, me and my aunt's two boys.

So, your mom is still with you in a way... I hope you know her well enough where you know (to a degree) what she would say, or how she would interact with you. There's a lot of her spirit (not in a mystical or religious sense) but in an emotional sense, that is still here, with you. 

Hugz, Connie
