Thank you so much for reading this and I really need a different perspective. My mom was diagnosed with PC last year January and she passed a week ago. She fought strong for 15 months but cancer is a brutal disease. I have been feeling really guilty because I couldn’t see or help my mom when she was in her last days of cancer because I live almost half across the globe. I wanted to visit her but there was no one who could help us with medical bills so I paid for almost all of her treatment and in order to do that I had to stay back and keep my job. I have two younger siblings and they were taking care of her and were there with her till the end. I have to take care of my siblings since my mom is in the heaven and I am also supporting my brother with his college tuition fees. He is going to be a scientist soon. But there are few people on my mom’s side who are making me feel guilty for not visiting her from last 1 year. They don’t understand what I went through all alone. I just worked and just kept praying that she recovers. But still I feel paying for mom was easier than taking care of her. I should have been there but I just can’t shake off the feeling how cancer kept me away from my mom for a year. The treatment is so expensive. But these relatives are getting into my skin. I already feel guilty for not being there for her. I just feel so sad. I am 6 months pregnant so couldn’t fly to see my mom in the end but looks like no one cares about it. I miss her so much :( I hope cancer never ever effect any other family.
