Honoring My Mom: Support for Her Youngest living son

Donation protected

Hello, I am the oldest son of a wonderful mother who has lost her battle with Ovarian cancer from growing tumors on the uterus. Pictured is her with her youngest of three son's whom lived at home with her.

The most hurtful thing for me as her oldest son is finding out so late. A parent will keep things from their children to protect them. I could never live with any anger for my mother's choices.
She lived her life for her youngest adult son who is living within (SPCD) Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder and (GAD) Generalized Anxiety Disorder within the spectrum of (ASD).
I know my mother lived her life and put her child's life before her own. She was a very private individual who unfortunately kept things to herself, including her own health battle.
The stage 1 cancer was defeated, to my knowledge, after one surgery to, but it returned months later In stage 2 the radiation and treatment had no positive effects. As strong as a woman as she was, the treatment among other things was too much for her. She chose to give her fight to her Lord and Savior.
She entered into hospice shortly after the cancer returned, and there was nothing more the hospital could do.

Unfortunately, my mother lost her fight and did not have things prepared as much as she could have for her family.
With her son living with his own personal issues there are things that we are learning about his situation in a short time. Even now, as an adult male, he is a very bright individual despite his gift. He is a gift! And all he knows is his life with his mother, who is no longer here now.
My goals in life have changed over these past few days as an older brother, but I can't do it alone. Financially, we are in a losing battle with her home that her youngest son has only known, medical expenses, among other personal things.

I never thought in my life that I would be doing this in my mother's honor. But my mother feared asking for help when she needed it.
I can't, and won't, live in that same fear.
Unfortunately crisis situation benefits life insurance, where not left in order for her passing. Funeral and or Memorial service coverage etc.

Any help will help. God bless and thank you for reading our story.
