Michelle..........Your employer is requried by law to give you time off when a family member is ill or terminal. Not sure if they are requrired to keep the exact position for which you were hired but they have to keep a position open for you. I think its call The Family Act law...or something like that.
My thoughts are with you during this most difficult time. You are doing the right thing by being there with your sister. Let the hospice team help you, help your sister....and let them help you in the process. They are a godsend!
Hang tight!
