I thought after the hysterectomy my mother will be fine but I'm wrong. Since her cancer is stage 4 and aggressive she need to undergo treatment. So I have to stop and close my store until she gets cancer free. I will just continue my tutorial job. Starting today I didn't open the store early and after tutor I close it. I need to help in cooking, cleaning caregiving etc. I can't even do myLot. Sad because I enjoy storekeeping but I have to stop it now. I thought they would ask me to stop teaching but my students really need my help.

Hello Aubrey..my life also stopped when I cared for my Mother who had stage 4 ovarian cancer.
I can have compassion for your situation.

I'm so sorry. Is there anyone else who could help with your mom's care?

My siblings help her. We cannot afford to hire a caregiver for her so we all help her whenever we can

Do you live with your parents? I am worried if not how you will make ends meet with losing the income from the store. I am so sorry to hear this terrible news. I do hope you can pop in here at times as myLot is such a great place to go when stressed or bored or worried etc.

Yes. No problem with the store income as most of my income come from tutoring. I will just miss serving customers everyday. My siblings will take care of all expenses. We already hire helpers 5 times a week but I still need to help in housekeeping. I hope we can back to normal

It's okay the earning in the store is not that big. Anyway I have 4 students now and that is good enough. I hope she gets well the sooner the better

I hope everything will be okay...
I remember last year when my father was in the hospital. I didn't have anymore time to work with my online job. I was all alone at home and I had to do all the house chores from 5 in the morning, then I had to go to the hospital by 10, and be home by 4 in the afternoon. From that time, I had to continue with all the house chores like cooking, cleaning our yard, watering the plants, feeding our 4 dogs and 15? cats, washing my clothes and my parents', washing dishes and pots, and all that... Hmmmm It is really hard to have a sick family member...
I think I was not able to work for more than 6 months... All my savings were gone..

I will be like you starting for now. I really want to run our store. I have so many plans for my store this year but I have to stopped it to help in housekeeping, cooking, washing the dishes as all my mother's household chores is left to me. When she is strong again I can return to my store.
