The purpose of any life is to live it the best one can. The first thing to keep in mine is that stuff happens. Sometimes good , sometimes bad. It will pass, hopefully. As for the bills, there is bankruptcy available. That is where you go to a bankruptcy lawyer and pay a few dollars (I do not know how much) and list all the people you owe money and show how much you have. The courts decide what you pay out and what you keep. They will try to keep it reasonable or so I hope.
Money will come and money will go. Unfortunately can not say the same about the people in our lives. I am sorry about your mother. It is not unexpected but it still is quite a hurt when it happens. Breathe deep and try to move forward. Your mother may pass but you are still here. It will be time to think about yourself and what to do next. Do not despair. Find a Church. The people there are a good resource to talk to and find help. Sometimes even to find a friendly face.
The next step is to look for opportunities. I do not mean buy a lottery ticket and hope for the best. Be that special person who knows what to look for that can help not only yourself but others too. Being open will help you. Shutting down will only close opportunities. So, got to keep trying. Remember to live your life. Parents teach their children to grow up and live their life. Now, it is your turn.
