My mum is in her last few weeks and months of life. there are so many feelings I could talk about but the thing I would like to share, and see if others have experienced this too, is a sense of terrible depression about my life. My work seems so pointless and unrewarding, and I would like to resign so I can spend some time with my mum before she goes, but I'm very afraid to do something so drastic which would also be very difficult financially. I'm also afraid of being dragged under my depression. Perhaps mostly I'm afraid of not spending enough time with her before she goes ( she lives in a different city so it is hard). Have others had a life crisis triggered by terminal cancer in a loved one? I've just turned 40, which is also relevant!
