[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I’m pretty sad about it. I had to turn down a pretty great opportunity career-wise because I know I don’t have the resources to give it my best. I’m currently visiting my mom who has dementia twice a week in assisted living, and she’s declining pretty rapidly. I know I’m going to have to move her to memory care sooner than later and she’s been having some physical issues that are going to need attention. The new role is more demanding and stressful than my current role with less flexibility. It’s the first time in my career I’ve had to choose my personal life and it’s hard. I was even able to raise my kids and get them launched without too much impact on my professional trajectory. I know this is the right thing for me at this time, but it’s hard. I just came to have myself a little pity party. [/quote] It’s ok. Work is highly overrated and unimportant in the great scheme of things.[/quote]
