Already this year has been bad for me. I lost my older brother who I got a lot of my identity from.

My husband and I had to help our dog pass on. :(

My parents are in bad shape. My mother is progressing in dementia. We are over a thousand miles from them. They now don’t really have anyone to help them. They refuse to move to an apartment or someplace that can help them.

Unfortunately, I fear I will soon get the call that one or both of them …. And then I will have to deal with the land, etc.

In April, I started seeing a Therapist, who has been helping me. But I just feel this impending doom that will wreck my life. I have a very supportive husband but when this happens with my parents, I feel it may cost me my job because going back to the Midwest to help deal with one or both my parents and the whole land situations is going to be a fucking nightmare and will require a lot of time.

Any advice? Anyone in a similar situation?
