So how can I deal with this knowing I won't see my mom till christmas?

 Can you email her or talk to her online with a webcam?? Its hard when you miss your mum so do things that will mean something to her when you see her. Write a letter every week to her, start a scrapbook with photos and snippets from your life and either send them to her monthly or save them up til christmas. It might make you feel close to her by doing something for her x

 I couldn't have said it any better.
Talking to a counselor is a particularly good idea in this case, as it can also help you over a lot of the other bumps you'll be experiencing along life's highway at this difficult time which your mom normally would be helping you with.
And do by all means do everything you can to keep in constant touch with your mom. It will mean a lot to her, and it will make you feel closer. One thing I did with my dad right before he died was I exchanged audio tapes. Now I cherish those. You might want to think about "corresponding" with your mom on tape (audio or video) in some way that both of you know will be permanent. That way you'll have those memories of your childhood to carry with you all through your life.
