I am so sorry for your loss, Debbie. I cannot even image what you might be going through. I can tell you that eventually some of the pain will subside, though I know this is not much comfort right now, but keep in mind it is okay to feel the emotions you do.
There is no wrong way to feel. Sometimes you may want support, other times may call for solitude. Just acknowledge those feelings as you have today and time will help heal your loss, even if it never fully fades.
One more thing: Realize that is okay to tell your children, "I need you here." I live far away from my Mom, too, but if she told me she needed me, I would be there, even if for just an hour.
