Hi Cassie88,
thx for writing back
in my humble opinion it sounds like your father’s health condition should be validation for going on medical leave?
I don’t know why he would be denied - and I encourage you to get him to get answers to those questions, and enjoy the time he has left ... that’s just what comes to mind to me, and I would think it makes sense - but I know it’s complicated
its important to have Faith and take each day as it comes. you will be an important advocate for your dad - taking notes, asking questions. Investigating - I hope you will be able to encourage your dad to be good to himself as well. It sounds awful that he wants to continue to work unwell, but I am sure there are many things to consider
be brave- he needs that from you - and your mom needs that too
write back and let us know how you make out as you search for ways to help
knowledge is power - and it sounds like you need to step up and be that person, I wish you well on this journey - and I hope you are able to connect with a hospice care or a support group which will be helpful for you and your family
I wish I could do more, but at least you have the support of this message bosrd- a place to vent, share and get encouragement
best wishes NatR 😍
