Hi everyone, im 25 years old and my mom is dying of single cell lung cancer they say she has 3-11 months and she is already 4 months into that. She is a single mother and I am an only child so there is a lot off responsibility and choices on my shoulders , my family is helping a lot and my mum now lives with my aunt as she lives alone normally. I also have asperger's Autism.
I need to help clear out my moms house that she rents before she passes, I live 2+ hours train (I can not drive a car yet) from both my mom and her flat (which is 4 hours from where she is ) , I’ve been taking a lot of 3 day weekends to vist my mom and go sort out her flat, but I’m not so close to being done with the flat. I’m working mon - Fri 9 -5.30 as an office assistant , the salary is minimum wage and I run short of cash most months (living in London) . I’ve basically used up most of my holidays at work I only have 2 days left until end of April.
My question is any suggestions on how to balance things, I’m feeling very drained already , all my holidays I’m spending busy with no time to actually rest, I know I still have a lot of things to sort and I want to spend as much time as I can with my mom before she passes, I don’t know what to do I feel so panicked, my job currently has no work from home options, my only option in this job is to go part time again which means I finish at 14:00 every day Mon - Fri, but this leaves me in a bad financial situation again.
I’m thinking maybe I can try to find a new job where I can work from home or work just 4 days a week? But this means i also have to spend time looking for a new job. I’m not sure what to do but I know that I can not cope with just 2 days holiday until may .
Thankyou for reading
