This Is Not Happening

My mother decided to discontinue radiation and chemotherapy and began hospice this past week. This afternoon she died. My stepfather and mother had been keeping it from me so as not to worry me… on top of my stupid head stuff.

My mother is being cremated, and has requested no formal funeral… but said it was okay if I needed to do a Compline. I’m going to ask my aunt if we can hold Compline at her house, and then enter my mother’s ashes with my brothers and my grandparents at my church. I just want people to have a chance to remember my mom.
