Lost and dont know what to do.

I cant believe I'm writing this but I dont know what to do or where to go. My beautiful mum died 2  days ago after us only knowing she has lung cancer for 10 days. She had a heart attack in 2013 which resulted in a quad bipas and unfortunately whilst under she had a stroke causing her to loose the use of her left side but she didnt let that stop her. 2 weeks ago she had alot of swelling around her stomach which the GP put down it being water and increased her water tablets. A few days later she had a fall and was taking to hospital where she was told she had pneumonia. During tests they discovered that she had lung cancer which has spread to her liver and she had months to live. She was meant to be coming home  yesterday and to be cared for at home, then she took a bad turn and ended up on oxygen and my dad was called in to say goodbye and she died alone which broke my heart. My whole world has been turned upside down in 10 days and I dont know how to handle it. My mum was a incredible woman and my best friend. She had waited so long to be a grandmother and i gave her her first granddaughter last year and she was so happy and has been the most amazing grandmother and now she wont be here to see her grow up and that makes me so angry. I'm sorry to write on here, I dont really know what to do, I just feel so broken and alone. I just want my mum back, she was 66, it wasnt her time.
