My mum is dying of cancer do I go on holiday as planned

My mum has terminal cancer, gallbladder, liver and bowel, she is currently in a hospice and although they said it would be months and then 2 weeks ago a few short months, now they are saying it could happen any time. I have cared for my mum first at my own house for 8 months before her cancer diagnosis as she was waiting for rehousing and awaiting gallbladder surgery which never happened. I have continued to care for mum and attend all her appointments with her. She got admitted to a hospice 5 weeks ago and they now say it could be a matter of days . Myself, my husband and children have been mums main support even though I have 3 older brothers. We haven't had a family holiday aboard in years and my youngest daughter has never been on a plane. We are due to travel to Greece in just less than 2 weeks do we still go ? If we don't go my mum would be upset with us but I am really torn.

  • I'm sorry to read that your mother is dying. 

    I personally wouldn't, there will be plenty of time to go on holiday after your mum's passing. My brothers weren't there when our mum passed and it haunts them. My sister went on holiday two weeks after mum's passing and not only did she not enjoy it she was riddled with guilt.

    I was also the main carer, I looked after my mum full time for 8 years. In that time I had no holidays or days off and I wouldn't dream of not being at my mother's bedside, when she needed me most, holding her hand, as she took her last breath. 

    I am the only family member that has no regrets, no guilt and can sleep with a clear conscious.
