After learning she had a lung tumor less than 3 weeks ago and going through one infusion / chemo treatment, my mom passed away yesterday morning. She was 83.
I'm not looking for a Pity Party or anything because I wasn't raised that way.
After meeting with the funeral home today (following the new realization she had no insurance beyond MediCare), I could REALLY use some work guys. The cost for her cremation is astronomical, actually more than I've made in the last few months. The owner's kid's comment that their facility is "the least costly in Weakley County" doesn't mask or lessen the reality that I'll be paying for this for a very long time. But I was raised to work for what I have and know no different way to be. I can't even get ahold of my brother who changed his number several years ago, perhaps to avoid this very thing.
Even if it's just a couple brackets or something, every new job will help right now. It's hard enough losing a loved one without the added sticker shock. "Numb" is the best adjective I can think of and really doesn't come close.
Rest in peace Mom! You'll be missed tremendously ...
