I dream that Mom is still alive

Sometimes I dream that Mom is still alive.
I wanted her to get better but she didn't survive.
When I learned that she was going to die, it made me mad.
Some of my dreams about Mom are good but some are bad.
In some of my dreams, Mom and I have verbal fights.
When she was alive, we were very close, we were tight.
When she died, the world ended or at least that was how it seemed.
I no longer have Mom in real life but I still have her in my dreams.
