Mom died today in an apartment fire
10 months ago
General
So... for the last 8 months, my mother has been experiencing a manic episode where she's had many delusions and put herself in harm's way with scammers and a man she just met and slept with. After all this time of the healthcare system failing to help her, she has died in an apartment fire. It was reported that she ran out to ask a neighbor for help, but ran back inside the burning apartment to get her bird that had died over a year ago.
I don't know what I'm going to do. I have never dealt with anything like this before, when my dad died it was my half brother who took care of everything and I barely know him. I am processing this by thinking of tattoo ideas to remember her by. I'm just so angry and upset and hurt.
I don't know yet what caused the fire or how exactly she died (like, smoke inhalation or other) I don't know how to contact her friends, I don't know how I'm going to afford anything because of the crisis I'm already in. I'll probably be updating my gofundme with this information.
Commissions need to be on hold until I figure everything out and process this. Thank you for understanding.

I'm so sorry.
My condolences. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Take all the time you need. I hope something works in your favour through this process even if just a little.
Don't eat away at yourself, as nobody has experience (nor ever needs it) in how to react on losing a loved one! Just do what you think is right and helps tidy up after her, as it may give you some sort of closure.
Don't forget to keep her memory in your heart, and she'll always be with you! Sound corny? Maybe. I had a dream the other day about my grandmother, sitting together and drinking tea, and she asked about my life. When I woke up, I told my mom and we both knew, that she lives on inside of us! Hope it'll happen to you and can have good time in this crazy world we live in!
Take care of things, and don't forget to take care of yourself!
