Any help is appreciated, or if anyone has a connection, or works for AC and can just hook me up with some sort of deal, or the right person to talk to, please let me know.

I'm sorry for your loss. That's rough.
I've been in a similar situation looked into the bereavement fare. You have to buy the ticket first and apply for the discount after the fact. IIRC, It's 30% off the ticket price (or was at that time, about 3 years ago). But if you take any sort of a discount price or seat sale, etc, they won't give it to you. It has to be 30% off the full price. I happened to get lucky and find a last minute price and they wouldn't give me the bereavement fare, but the discount I got worked out to about the same anyway.
