Oh Lexica, I'm so sorry for your loss. The love and respect you and your mom had for each other shone through your posts over the years. I'm glad her passing was peaceful, and sorry that your sister is making this even harder than it already is.

I am so sorry, Lexica. I know how close you were to your mom, and I also feel like I knew her.
Please, don't do anything you don't think you can handle. I think that putting up with your older sister if you do have a memorial will be enough of an emotional challenge for you.
I had recently read Mary Roach's book, Stiff, about the life of cadavers donated to science before my father died. The idea of him being cremated was already difficult, and there is no way I could have witnessed that.
If you don't think that being there will be a positive experience for you, don't go.
I hope that you're able to move back to Oregon quickly. Please take care of yourself. The stress will not be good for your health, so please be kind to yourself.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Glad you have a place to vent. I am sad for your family and the drama. Take comfort in the love you and your mother shared. Hold tight to good memories and try to forget all the bad stuff.
I send a hug and prayer for peace for you and the entire family.
