Tad, uR and Portia have given you much to think about. I'm sorry that your employer didn't work w/you on how best to set up your schedule because of the time you have spent w/your mother. I think I would have to have a meeting with the former supervisor and discuss why you weren't allow to utilize the family leave act in this situation.
I do agree w/Portia that when your mother is ready to cross over she will. She's not there yet and she's still here w/you for a little longer. I know you are spending as much time as you can w/her and she's thankful for the company and support.
Tad, there is a huge world out there and I'm sure when you are able to focus on other things, you will find that there are many doors to open and step thru to find the job that is right for you. For now, God's plan is for you to focus on your mother and be by her side. The old saying, "things happen for a reason", well...I truly believe that.
Hang in there. One day at a time, my friend.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
