Coping with loss...

I lost my mother at 1:40pm on October 30th. She died suddenly and very unexpectedly at the age of 50. I know I am taking it hard. I'd been helping my dad make arrangements from the day after she died until this last Monday when we buried her. Now that it's done and I'm back I Cali with hella free time it's really hitting me. Beyond hard. Depression, crazy emotional moments where I can't stop crying, trouble sleeping, nightmares, ect.
She was my best friend. She lived in Nevada and I've been with my dad's parents in Cali since 2009, so the separation was hard but we could talk via phone and Skype. I made trips to Reno to see my family once every 2-3 months since it's only 4-5 hours away. We talked every day about everything. She was the glue of our family, and my dad, little brother (21), and I are scrambling to keep our lives together and not fall apart.
Has anyone has this kind of loss? Their mother and best friend? Feeling like a part of me died too. I'm desperately trying to continue on and cope. I'm back in Cali to finish out some obligations but I move to Nevada in the beginning of December. In the mean time I need advice how to cope! How do people recover from this loss? Meds (anti depressants)? Therapy? Sleep aids? How do you sleep without nightmares? Is there a "best way" to cope and keep your life together? I get this is fubar and not some bereavement group but there are millions of people on here, and I've already gotten so much support, someone must understand. Any advice??
