Tonight, my world shifted with the loss of my mom. Just days ago, she was diagnosed with stage 4 bone cancer, and now she's gone. She was a strong, warm-hearted woman who wished for a simple cremation, reflecting her humble spirit.
In New Iberia, Louisiana, our close-knit community offers some strength during this difficult time. Tomorrow, I must discuss her cremation with the funeral home, which feels both surreal and urgent.
The costs are overwhelming, and I find myself needing help to fulfill her final wishes. Any support would be a profound relief as I try to honor her memory with dignity.
