[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rest of your life will always be there. Your mom won't. You have to decide what is more important to you and focus on that. I'd personally take off work, take the kids, and head to mom's house. I'd spend every second of every day with her and I'd make sure my kids did too. DH can travel as he needs to so he can keep money coming in. [/quote] This. What are the ages of your kids / their childcare setup? What is your job and is their any possibility for PT or remote? Or to 'flex' it so you're working just enough to keep balls rolling? You will not regret making the space to spend as much of this time with your mother as you can. It is worth some level of financial setback. Let us help you figure out how to make it logistically work. Give us your details and let us figure out possible plans. And I am so sorry for your impending loss.[/quote]
