She must take responsibility for her own decisions and accept their consequences. If her boss behaves as badly as she fears, that's something she has to face, too. You are not obliged to shield her from life's vicissitudes, but you are obliged to be an honest person. You owe that to yourself, above all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202241003290273966.post-45456299331995492172012-05-03T19:24:58.103-07:002012-05-03T19:24:58.103-07:00Not really a hard call at all, if you've got y...Not really a hard call at all, if you've got your priorities straight. Sure, I could imagine scenarios where this trip is "mission critical" for her work and she is an irreplaceable part of the mission, but THIS IS HER FATHER! That she is asking how close he is to the end suggests a relationship close enough to have warranted a "I'm sorry, but I just can't go on the trip because my father might go at any time" line to her boss. There will be other trips, possibly other jobs (assuming the worst), but there is only one death of a loved one.
