So many people never get that one last chance to say "I love you" to people before they pass away. I lost my grandfather when I was very young to a sudden, massive stroke one night. I was in the same house at the time, visiting. I kissed him goodnight, never knowing it would be my last. Due to my young age, and my brother's even younger age (i was 7, he was 4), we couldn't go to the funeral. I never got that last chance to say goodbye. Many people don't even get that last goodnight kiss and "I love you".
Don't let yourself go the rest of your life knowing you HAD the chance to tell her you loved her, and didn't, no matter how long it's been since the last time you talked.
Life ends- as sure as the sun will rise and set each day- but cherish it as much as you can while it's here.
Cry as much as you want to, and know that death is a necessary part of life.
Have a friend to talk to, or take up a journal, as lurkette said. It's very cathartic to put your feelings down on paper, and solidifies your feelings for those you've lost.
My blessings, and the best of luck to you.
