Hello MKB
I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with the grief surrounding the loss of your Mum. There is no time frame in which grief becomes any less easy to bear and as such it's never too late to reach out for professional help.
I know that many people have found it beneficial to have bereavement counselling following the death of a loved one and I'd suggest looking at the website for a charity called Cruse. They're able to offer bereavement support. It's also worth talking with your GP about how you're struggling as there may be other underlying problems contributing to how you're feeling.
I do hope that you're able to reach out for support MKB and that things begin to improve for you.
Best wishes,
