Last month, August 4 to be precise, we lost my Mom as well.
It's taken a while for me to put this in perspective but now that I have no parents I realize that I have no one to ask about our past. Anything I never asked or didn't learn from them is now gone forever. I have a sense of being severed from the past now. The history of my immediate family ends with me now. What I don't know will now never be known. Instead of being a point in the middle of a string where I could look back or look forward, I am now at the end of the string.
