I used to be trying to sleep alone in my bed and I just couldn't, so I snuck into my parents room and climbed into bed with my Mum. The fact was, I was going through some bad stuff at the time and was suffering with bad anxiety, although I didn't realise it at the time.
I suspect that with your Dad gone, you're probably experiencing a lot of anxiety yourself. You're worried about your Dad, your Mum and yourself and sometimes that gets on top of you so it's natural that you wouldn't want to be alone.

You just want to be there for her but sometimes you have to realize that she might be fine. Just try to sleep in your own bed for a few nights and maybe you'll figure out what the deal is.
