text: after the resent death of my mother what i can do for her?(after her death)?   i'm not trying to be mean or harsh, but i don't believe there is anything at all you can do for a deceased person other than honor their memory and give them a decent memorial or burial. if it will make you feel better you could tie up any loose ends or if she had any causes you could take them up, but she won't be affected by anything you do now.
