Support the passing of my beloved

Next Friday we would have the 6th anniversary of our wedding. We were so happy to find each other, late in life, and we shared not only a worldview, but a deep understanding of each other and a deep and unknown intimacy and freedom with each other. We would have loved to stay together in our old age, but...
Last Easter, only 3 months ago, my beloved husband Mark Davenport felt weak and his cough was really strong and needed to see a doctor. I had created www.theWisdomFactory.net with him and interviewed some hundreds of interesting people in the hope to inspire others to learn about new or different ways to see the world and especially different ways of being in an intimate relationship which we were experimenting together, as well as encountering the last part of life as Conscious Ageing
It came out that he had lung cancer, he did some treatments, we have spent a lot of money in alternative substances, in a portable oxygen machine and in air conditioning in our house as it can be difficult to tolerate the summer heat even without breath problems.
Mark lost weight quickly, I tried to figure out what he could and would eat to slow down the decay. In the past 2 weeks he was constantly on an oxygen bottle, day and night, heroically struggling with the side effects of the painkillers. But I wouldn't have expected that he would pass so soon, I hoped for the alternative treatments, some of which should still arrive from Germany.
But it happened, quickly, in a breathlessness attack of maybe 10 minutes and he was gone, it surprised himself, I am sure. He took this illness as a discovery about his body and himself and spoke about the constant surprises he met, day after day. He will leave a huge imprint in my heart and those who have known his friendly an joking way of being.
Now why do I raise the crowdfunding? In the past years we mainly lived on his pension. We had some money apart, but it has some holes for the expenses we already did. Now I have to face the funeral, buy a space in the graveyard and LIVE alone and without his support. I probably will get some of his pension, but I have no idea when and how much.
So if you want to support me with the upcoming financial challenges and the continuation of the non-profit work which we were doing for the last few years, I would be very grateful for any amount you can give.
Here one of the shows from this spring with a panel - of which two people have past since then - how sad!
