It’s one of the worst situations anybody can go through, I can empathize with 100% of your post. I had the same feelings. With everything falling apart around me, my job instantly became one of the least important things when I was so concerned with what was gonna happen to my mom. I actually ended up losing my job over it because I couldn’t pull it together.

With all that being said, try to do your best to keep in mind that these things are out of your control. You can’t control your mom’s health, but you can try to keep her spirits up by always supporting her and focusing on the positive outcomes that can happen. Try not to let the unknown and the uncontrollable send you into despair.

Getting mental help and emotional support now is a great decision, you’re already ahead of me when I first found out. Take it one day at a time, try your best to compartmentalize so you can keep your income, and give yourself space. But don’t get upset with yourself when you find yourself struggling. We love you, comrade, and wish you and your mom the best recovery.
