Really sorry for your loss Mock.
I was 28 (11 years ago) when my mum died (she was 59), late 20's is still quite young to lose a parent, I find people don't really know how to place it, because it's neither the same as losing an elderly parent, nor the same as losing a parent in childhood/teens. Just a normal adult event - but one that came too soon. A weird middle ground.
The first few years were a bit odd, obviously everyone thinks more about family at Christmas, but it does start to become "normal" over time.
That said, my own kids were ages 4 and 2 on the first xmas after my mum's death, so I had that side of things to focus on as a distraction. Remember to talk to someone if you're feeling alone.
