There's technically no such thing as a "nervous breakdown." Sometimes stress burdens a person so much they feel like they're going to snap, tho. You should find a grief counselor, this is exactly what they're there for. Best--

Although the terminology is now different, the symptoms are the same. If you sense utter fatigue, have low energy, little motivation, anxiety, agitation, sleep too little or too much, loss of appetite, feel guilty and hopeless, it is a 'nervous breakdown'. You need to see a psychiatrist.
Good luck.
I also went through a lot of ambivalence when my mom passed away. I was not at all sure that I was "feeling how I was supposed to" about her death. Like you said..a lot of questions.
But do trust that in time you will indeed reach a place where you are comfortable with your thoughts about this all. My thoughts certainly "evolved" with the passing of time, and got to a place where I felt I had answered most of my questions in an authentic way, and in a way I could live with.
But.it just kind of happened on it's own, you know ?? It's not something you can force.
As far as a "breakdown" is concerned..the advice you were given by others is pretty correct. Think in terms of "nervious exhaustion" and..that's probably what it's like. You just end up.exhausted and shut down.and often can't get out of bed.
It's easy for me to say "just give it time" but it's OK to be kind fo freaked out too, especailly if the death has just happened and you are having to deal with a lot of the "practialites" as well.
So..Cut yourself as much slack as you can, OK ?? You will have plently of time ahead of you to come to resolution.
And try and trust that you will ?

nervous breakdown is a sudden, acute attack of mental illness such as depression or anxiety. Like sanity, the term is not recognized by the psychological community. In part, this is because the term has pejorative connotations, while this phenomenon is a normal and relatively common response to chronic stress. Often, the emerging illness is only described as a "breakdown" when the person becomes unable to function, at which point the disorder is advanced. Often, the supposed breakdown is a manifestation of career burnout.
The psychiatric community rejects the term "nervous breakdown", in part, because it is not descriptive enough of the actual disorder and symptoms. A common diagnosis that follows such an event is brief reactive psychosis.
Causes of breakdown include chronic and unresolved grief, unemployment, academic or occupational stress, serious or chronic illness in a family member, divorce, death of a family member, and other sudden major life changes. Whatever the cause, the message to the sufferer is that they now become aware of their limits of tolerance to stress, the usual outcome eventually is a more robust personality that interacts with stresses of life with more self care, although this may take time—sometimes years.
If you have to ask, you probably aren't. You are probably feeling sad. This will last for a while. Mourning the death of a parent is a natural thing. Cry when you need to. Talk about her when you have the opportunity. Encourage people to talk about her. Consider it a healing process for your heart and soul. One day you will accept her death. My thoughts are with you. Peace.
Please accept my deepest sympathies for your mom's passing.
It is never easy to deal with grief. If there were strange circumstances surrounding the death it would make it harder.
Try to deal with life one day at a time. Talk to the doctor who signed the death certificate and don't be afraid to ask as many questions as you want. If there is anything he explains that you don't understand, ask him where you could find out more information on the topic.
Find someone to talk to about your grief, if you are religious, a man of the cloth would be good, a close relative, or a close friend, or a councilor.. are all options.
Give yourself time to grieve, and if neccesary get help for your day to day chores while you are grieving, sometimes our minds become so preoccupied with the major problem, we cannot process the day to day.. So it would be normal to forget to pay bills and all those sorts of chores.
Good luck, I hope you are feeling well again soon.
