The phrase “Laboured ease of loss” is an oxymoron which refers to the acceptance of loss and living with it. In the poem, poet’s mother has lost her youth and has learnt to live by bearing it. On the other hand, the poet loses her mother and has learnt to live with it. It requires a lot of struggle (labour) but in the end, we have to accept the reality and live with it.
