My darling, wonderful 40 year old brother has had a very sudden diagnosis of late stage bowel and liver cancer. It was a total bolt out of the blue and in the last 7 days we have gone from literally no idea there was anything wrong to being told he has very little time left. He lives 200 miles away from me and has no one to care for him. I need to be with him. I have no idea what to do about work - I need an open ended absence but realistically will I have to give notice? Can I just leave without working my notice out? He doesn't have that long. Forgive me for being stupid but I can't even breathe let alone think. Can anyone who has been through similar please hold my hand and give me some practical advice? What do I need to take with me, what do I need to do? This hurts so much.
