To feel so sad? Is this normal?

[blackandwhite23]

I'm in Blackpool for two nights with friends for a hen do.
I'm 34 and I used to come here with my mum and dad every summer until I was 14 when my mum passed away with cancer.
This is the first time I've been back.
The hotel is still here we used to stay at.
I'm so overwhelmed with sadness,I just want to go home.
It's just a reminder how happy I was and how my mum has gone.
Is this normal?
It has so many happy memories for me.
I'm just so upset

Of course it is understandable. My friend cannot visit any place that she had with her husband before he died. She has turned down invitations because of this. I am so sorry that you lost your mother at such an early age. At least you are only at that hotel for a couple of nights. Soldier on and try to concentrate on your mates.
