[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you decide? We’re there any regrets? Did taking on a new role while caring for a parent put too much demand on you?[/quote] But I also think that a loving parent would understand if their child made a different choice and took the job. This is a complicated question and depends on a lot of other factors that we don’t have details on. It is extremely stressful to care for a terminally ill parent, even without concerns about having passed up an important life opportunity. If you really want to spend time with your parent and be there for them, I would try to find some compromise by taking the job but asking for some time off up front and maybe help paying for in-home help or something. My parent recently died and strongly preferred at the end to be in a facility with skilled caregivers as opposed to being at home. This is a really tough thing to go through, OP. Best wishes and love to you. [/quote]
