Welcome to the group, try to keep your son's life as the same as possible, try getting him involved in activities while you for thru your divorce process, also get yourself an oulet, either find someone you can speak to about what you are going thru so you stay sane. Finding activies you can do with your son will be a great way to keep you both busy and active and away from focusing too much on all the changes emotionally. If you think your divorce will get mess, make sure you have an attorney that will guide you and fight for what you deserve, if you think your divorce can be civil I advice trying a mediator which will be less costly so you can work out the detail of who gets what and when. Best of luck and know it's hard at the beginning, accepting change is rarely in our human nature, so don't be hard on yourself but do make sure to take care of yourself so that you can be strong for you son. I too divorced two years ago when my son was 3 yo old, he is now 5 yo and we are coping the best way we know how, keeping busy.
I'm so sorry for the loss of both your mom and your marriage (((hug)))
