When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, 'Woman, here is your son,' and to the disciple, 'Here is your mother.' From that moment the disciple took her into his home.
From the cross, Jesus ensures his mother's care. Not through inheritance or money. Through relationship. He gives her a son. He gives the disciple a mother. He creates family at the moment of his death. That's radical love—thinking of others' needs in your own extremity. Creating continuity of care.
