Would your employer give you an extended leave of absence, with an assurance of getting your job or a comparable job back when you are ready? Can you afford to not work during that period?
Is parttime work a possibility? Can Daddy stay alone for several hours at a time?
You do have to think of your future, too, so if possible don't burn any bridges that you might want to cross later.
Have you talked this decision over with the hospice staff?
There is no "right" answer here. I hope you find the answer that will work best for you.
