Anniversaries take a while to learn to cope with. At least now there are no more "firsts", which is a significant stage in the grieving process. You're right about "complicated" - part of the stress can be feeling that there are appropriate things you "ought" to feel - when what you actually do feel can take you so much by surprise.
Well done for being kind to yourself - you deserve it and you know it's what your mum would want for you.
