My mother-in-law has had cancer for a few years now and it's getting worse (no longer in remission, no longer curable, etc.). My wife and I know it's probably a matter of months before she dies. The problem is her parents live across the country, and we recently moved to a new state. I feel when the time comes that I should fly back with my wife for the funeral to support her, but we have no one to watch our kids over night. And we can't afford for us all to fly across the country. In fact, we're probably going to have to go into debt just for her/us to go. Help! What do I do? Do I let her go by herself when the time comes? How would you find someone you would trust to watch your kids for 2-3 days? (Our youngest is 7, so they're not real little kids.)
