Answer:
The sea holiday was a part of the mother's childhood, her past and the mother's laughter is the poet's past as her mother is no more. 'Both' refers to the mother's laughter and the poet's memory of her mother. Both were tinged with loss-the mother had lost those happy childhood days and the poet had lost her mother.
