This may be a time you later look back and say thank god we did that then. My Mom had terminal cancer and was ready to check into a hospital to die. She didn't want to be a bother to any family members. My middle brother and I went part time at work and I would spend 4 days a week with mom, then my brother Mike would come down and spend the next three days with her. This way she was allowed to die at home surrounded by those who loved her. It was 12 years ago now, but it still brings tears to my eyes writing this. She was a great woman. The six weeks we spent with her were eye opening. She told me stories I'd never had heard before. When she died, I never felt that there was anything else I could have done. I had no regrets! At the time I was just married for a few months, and our finances were tight, but my wife was totaly supportive. It's the right thing to do, and like you've said, you have already had some good times!:)
