How do you cope when a parent dies?
My mom’s been gone 2 months and I’m still kicking myself for not stopping her habits soon

I don't know what habit your mom had that you're referring to, but I can only tell you that if you could turn back the clock, no matter how much time you spent, no matter how much money you spent, your mother would still take her habits to the grave with her.
Your mom's habits were out of everyone's control, except the control of your mom which she chose to maintain. All you can do now is to forgive your mom and then forgive yourself for what you thought you could have otherwise done, but in fact you could have done nothing that was different.
Forgive yourself for taking responsibility for doing exactly what you DID do for your mom and then let it go.
