Your words above are much better than any cliche. (I had to look up treacly)
Thank you again!

As much as you are packed with family and responsibilities right now, you are in the moment and that is just where you need to be right now so I'm really glad you are able to be there. The intensity of caring for your mom for all this time and the sharp pain of losing her is going to take over in mysterious ways for some time. And like Ocean said, there's just going to be a permanent "before" and "after" when you draw up memories. Sometimes it's sweet. Sometimes it's a kick in the gut.
Just keep taking care of yourself best you can. Drink water, sleep, realize that you too are healing.
