Please Help Us Say Goodbye to Our Mother

Our beloved mother lived a whole, healthy life until one unexpected day when she began experiencing severe back pain. After a series of tests, we learned she was battling pancreatic cancer.

Despite undergoing surgery and starting chemotherapy just weeks later, the cancer continued to return, relentlessly. Eventually, after exhausting all treatment options, our mother made the difficult decision to let go. From that day, she cried often, quietly preparing for the end, worrying more about us than herself.

Throughout those 13 long months, she endured unimaginable pain, relying on fentanyl patches every day. Yet through all of it, she never once stopped putting her family first. She was always thinking of our well-being, right until her final breath.

Our mom was small, but strong. She gave birth to many children, endured back and knee surgeries, and then faced cancer. It broke her already fragile body. She never wanted to be a burden. She never got to eat the foods she loved. In the end, even swallowing water became impossible. We had to watch her fade away, and we couldn’t stop it.

It’s been one week since she passed. We held her funeral, cremated her, and placed her ashes where she wanted. Now we are left with a heavy cost we cannot carry alone.

We are asking for help to honor her last wishes and let her rest in peace. Any amount, no matter how small, means the world to us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
