Just lost my mom

I lost my mom on Wed. to breast cancer she's had since 01. It metastized to her brain and liver. She knew about her latest diagnosis situation and didn't tell anyone and refused treatment. She went downhill quickly, which I consider a blessing. But I'm having trouble grasping this reality. Her husband isn't making things easier. He refuses to have a memorial service for her because he doesn't want to pay for it (she was cremated). And money for this shouldn't be an issue for him based on what he told us of his financial situation (after we found out he lied to us).

Of course, I'm in the Midwest and we're having the worst winter storm in years! So we wouldn't be doing anything immediately anyway. But I feel like everyone is looking to me to figure everything out, and I don't know the answers. Not to mention I live an hour from the city my mom lived in and unfortunately, money IS an issue for us. It's bad enough having to deal with mom's death...but now all this, too?
