I was widowed twelve years ago after nursing a dying, cancer-ridden husband for two years. I also waited for the anniversary before scattering his ashes. One feels that it is somehow symbolic, and it feels difficult to part with them before that - it is the finality that hurts.
My sympathies to you and your mother.
