Be vs have+V3

Hello

I think there's no difference between sentences "I'm gone away" and "I have gone away" if we talk about the meaning of it but however I'm not quite sure.

Thanks.

Thank you, but I still don't still see the difference. Okay, here's the situation: I came into the house and saw that my mother is absent. So, what'd be more correct: "Oh, my mother is gone" or "My mother has gone"?

Thanks again.
