New here, with my first post. First off, I just want to say how sorry I am. I know all too well how difficult it is to lose a parent to cancer. I had a very similar situation a few years ago. Be upfront with your DCP. Mine all knew my mom had cancer. On a Monday I found out from my dad that my mom had a made a turn for the worse and it was just a matter of time. I put all my DCP on notice, and I had made arrangements with one of my DCM to contact the rest of my families when something happened, because I knew I would be in no position to do so (I was a single mom at the time, and had no one else to do so). All my parents were very understanding, although one mom called within 3 days my mom's passing asking if I was ready to reopen. But, I digress.
In my case, all I was able to give was 12 hours notice once we knew she wouldn't make it through the night.
It's a difficult time now, and I feel your pain.
