I lost my parent to cancer six months after BD. It was as much a process and journey as was my xSO's MLC. There was no support from him at all during that time.

Your mom will rest when she is ready. Only she will know when. My parent passed as we were starting to drift off in the early morning hours after being with her the whole day prior. I believe with my whole heart that she felt that peace and felt ready, however unconsciously. It was a heartbreakingly beautiful moment. The windows of the hospice faced the east and the sun had just started to rise. The long dark night was over.

I am also sorry that your workplace could not be more supportive. In that I was lucky. My workplace was excellent. When my other parent went in hospital a few months later, they were supportive again. But you sound resourceful and you are right. You'll find another job but your moms time is finite.

Your future is waiting for you. Look ahead.
