I agree with McGandhi really. I don't think the song's about his mother, it's almost certainly about a partner.
The rosary beads being broken go with the idea that she's died. A lot of people turn their backs on religion when a loved one passes away. She kissed the beads every night before going to bed, and now she's gone and he's left alone, so out of anger he tosses the beads aside and shatters them, and a few months later he finds them again and they envoke the memory that's always there.
At least that's what my mind's eye sees :] very beautiful song
