My condolences, and my respect that you were able to keep her at home to the end. I'm sure some part of her knew and appreciated that very much.
I can sympathize on the "lots of stuff" aspect. We only had 2 months to clear out my mom's place a year ago, since she had been renting a house when she became ill. She was a collector, too. I recommend having an antiques expert help you figure out what might be worth keeping. Otherwise I found it therapeutic to keep some treasures and let the rest go... At least you can take your time, hon.
Things get better with time, they really do. Hang in there.
