(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I understand I have had little to do with the site in the past couple years but I am desperate for help. *I am asking for any help and assistance with funeral cost for my mother who passed away on February 6th.

She suffered an injury that led to her being admitted to the emergency room. *After several hours she came back home. *She seemed fine besides the pain she was experiencing. *At about 10:30 she decided she wanted to lay down and go to sleep. *My father and i watched over her until about 3 before we fell asleep. *When we woke at about 6, we found my mother had passed.

My mother meant the world to me, I don't have much family, I don't have a lot of friends and I feel as though I've been stripped a piece of my soul.

I am asking for anyone who can help donate to help with however much they can. *If you can't donate, please at the very least share this cause with others.

In the GoFundMe, you will see my father (A former middle-school teacher), my mother, me, my 8 year old brother and my two sisters.

Please, please do help.

Official ones will be coming soon. We've decided to go with cremation and an urn and to hold our own memorial for her among the few family we have left.

I've adjusted the GoFundMe to the amount that was due, I've had to put the amount we owed on credit under my name. I will be leaving the GoFundMe open until the end of the month and then I will be closing it for donations.

To all of those who have helped donate and to all of those I have talked to, I thank you for your generosity and help, your kind words have helped make a difficult time my father and I have been going through easier to handle.

When I lost my father, I felt that I had to see him to believe it. Losing him within months of his diagnosis seemed surreal. That is the only reason I chose to see my father. I'm not sure I would have otherwise. I would have attended the viewing but I would have kept my distance as I've done with others who have since passed. Sometimes being there is enough.

It's too much of a personal thing for someone else to answer. You'll decide what is best for you. There is no "right" way to go about dealing with death. I hope you and your family find your peace and that you are all able to deal with it on an individual level, not only collectively. I think that's pretty important.

This. I could relate my own experiences on seeing my own loved ones in caskets, the funerals I've attended and not attended and my feelings in the matter, but every loss is different and every relationship is different, and everyone processes pain and other emotions (complex or otherwise) differently. It's not for me to try to sway your decision.

Sorry to hear that man, Ill see what i can do i got you no doubt.

Sorry to hear this man. My thoughts go to you and your family.

P.S. I'm still in your sig... Bad ass.

How are you holding up, Pichu? <3

Doing better. Had a detective come yesterday to ask further questions as part of the investigation regarding my mom. That took several hours.

On Monday, we are going to the funeral home to finish signing papers and to pay for service, we've had to change things and with how nasty family has been, we're changing it to a private memorial service.

We are not going to be doing a viewing, we are going to be doing a straight cremation, have her in an urn and have a private and small service done, with her remains in the room, as part of a memorial for her. We're going to have video and pictures shown and played in her memory.

We were going to have it public but after Tuesday when we were finally let into my mom's room, we found that family had stolen all of my mom's jewelery and expensive possessions, they were also packing up stuff that was common property between my parents and separate property of my fathers. (We're going to have to sue for it all back... :/) plus we have probate to enter which is going to eat up about 20k due to the complex case...

My father and I are deciding to keep the urn with my mom's remains and later down the road, when my dad passes, we will have both buried together and hold a memorial in both their names as a remembrance to their marriage and to their name and person.

We were told by the coroner over the phone last week we could get death certificates but when we went in to get one, they said because it's not a natural death (old age for example), we have to wait until they complete toxicology reports and finalize their reports with local law enforcement before they can release certification. The detective on the case will be getting a hold of me and my father when the case resolves. It seems to be a mix of multiple factors :/

I really do hate this family, my sisters and people on my mom's side are absolutely nasty with taking so much and being so controlling, abusive, and hurtful. :/

Well despite my posts earlier in the thread, I offer my condolences for your loss. Please understand my scepticism of things like this on the Internet. It wasn't a personal thing against you just, 'eh is this legit?' type of thing.

Hope things work out for you and your family.

I'm so sorry for your loss man. I hope that $30 helps out a bit. If you need anything, just let me know.

I'm really sorry you're having to go through that. It's unfortunate that your mother didn't have a will. Sadly, money and property make for common disputes in death. Some people have seriously messed up priorities.

The delay regarding your mother's death certificate is understandable considering the circumstances. I'm guessing because of the potential conviction, they're needing to be meticulous. That's a good thing.

How you've decided to handle the service is very sweet.
