My brother lost his job

My mom has been in and out of the hospital with liver failure, and she has had to be moved from the ICU to an assisted living facility. With all of the appointments and the moving her around, my brother has used up all of his vacation and sick days (in the US you aren't given very many to start with). He went to his boss and asked about possibly getting the paperwork for FMLA, but they turned him down then ultimately let him go.

I hate that tiny red state town he's stuck in. I keep trying to get him to move here but now I don't know if it's possible. Just more stress. Also he said mom has a death rattle and hospice has been called in. At least now he has all the time in the world to spend with her while he collects his unemployment. 😔
