I would like to find a new path after the incredibly hard loss of my mom. I have been her caretaker through pancreatic cancer and after her passing the idea of going back to work feels meaningless.

For context I currently work in Organizational Development on an HR team. I work in the defense industry and I want out. It has been sucking the life out of me but it was flexible through my mom’s illness so I stayed. I have a bachelors degree in psychology and I’m working on an MBA but I honestly want to drop out. My experience before this was mostly admin or case manager type work.

I have a passion for helping others and making a positive impact in their lives. I do best when I have flexibility and freedom. I don’t love the corporate grind but I would do it for the right job.

I thought about nursing but I don’t think I want to taking on the schooling right now. Through my moms entires illness so many people helped us along the way and I would like to pay society back in some way. I am not driven by money but I would like a job with health insurance as I’m in the US.

My beautiful mother lost her battle to pancreatic cancer yesterday. She was diagnosed almost 2 years ago. She beat breast cancer 3 times in 13 years but this was a different beast.

She was only 63. In the past two years she was undergone surgery to remove her pancreas, spleen, and gallbladder making her diabetic. She did countless chemo sessions and got an all clear last June. By August they had found it spread to her abdominal wall and tried more chemo by April it was in her liver and colon. She fought so hard and was willing to try anything but in the end it was just too much. She was on hospice for less than 2 weeks.

My mom was the kindest and most caring person. She loved her family, dogs, work, tea, and so much more. All she knew was love and she offered it freely to everyone. The world is a darker place without her. I will miss her everyday for the rest of my life. I was her caregiver and my life feels empty now. I would do anything to have her back.

My beautiful mom fought pancreatic cancer for almost 2 years. She was so brave, strong, kind, loving, and perfect. The world lost a bright light.

She was only 63 and still had so much life to live. She started hospice on May 12th and was gone by May 18th.

I don’t know how I will ever recover from this. She was my whole world.

My mom has been fighting pancreatic cancer for almost 2 years. My dad and I have been her caretakers the entire time. She started hospice yesterday and I’m at a loss for what to do now. I have so many questions and would appreciate any input.

• Do you have any experience for at home hospice especially with a stage 4 cancer diagnosis?

• What will hospice provide?

• I have siblings that live out of state when should I tell them to come up?

• My dad is taking the bulk of the work now and is dedicating all his time to my mom. How can I support him? I fear for when she passes.

• When she does pass how do I tell people?

I’m not Muslim so forgive me if I’m overstepping but it seems like the Asad sisters have shifted from aligning themselves with Islam to mocking it. Like they used to post themselves praying, dressing modestly, cooking cultural foods, trying to learn Arabic and reading the Quran. Now Loren posts things like “halal thirst traps” and see through dresses. Leena openly bullies people on her TikTok and Amanda speaks in a mocking fake Arabic/ black? accent.

Did pretending to be religious stop making them money and now they’re going to mock it instead? Were they ever actually religious or was it always just for show? I used to love to watch their Ramadan content because I knew very little about it. It’s kind of sad watching how little regard they have for a religion and culture they claim to love.
