I lost my mom suddenly and we were not at all prepared.  She meant the absolute world to me and to a lot of people.  My mom touched a lot of peoples hearts.  She watched everyday as the school kids got on the bus to make sure that nothing happened to them.  She was also always looking out for suspicious stuff in the neighborhood.  She cared so much about people and animals.  She left behind me and our dogs who are just lost without her.  We were naïve and never planned for this day.  She had no life insurance.  And we counted on both of our incomes to afford our house.  I am not sure what will happen long term, I hope to be able to keep my house and stay here forever but today I just need to get through today.  I never had any idea how much a funeral would cost.    I appreciate any help that anyone could give right now.
