two issues
most posts deal with if/when LW should go home to his dying mother or her funeral.
but his guilt is really about why he didn't bother going to see her for the last 7 years, EVEN WHEN HE HAD MONEY. People are using the real issue of poverty to ease his guilt, when he admitted he couldn't be bothered going home WHEN he DID have money. so money, poverty are NOT what's keeping him away from his dying Mom. And that is the REAL issue here. Poverty is a red herring. We don't hate poor people here. I do encourage LW to explore WHY he never could go see his Mom. The issue is WHY he stayed away from his dying Mom for the last 7 years, even when he had plenty of money.
