Becky -

Looks like you are going through some hard times.  I am not sure what your question is, so let me ask a few questions so we can determine how to help you.

When you began to take time off when your husband was first diagnosed with cancer, did you request use of your Family Medical Leave Act benefits? FMLA is a federal law that you can find more information about here: http://www.cancerandcareers.org/en/at-work/Legal-and-Financial/Cancer-and-the-ADA-FMLA. You may want to ask our legal experts more details of how FMLA would apply to your situation.

Did you employer, at any time, send you information in writing about FMLA benefits and the guidelines?

Has your employment been terminated or you were notified that since your are unable to currently fulfill the position of General Manager, they would consider you for another position within the company?

If your position has been terminated, you may be able to apply immediately for Unemployment Compensation, so you have some income, on the basis that you can work full time with some accommodations or work part time until you find a new full time position. 

What about your health care benefits? Is your employer continuing to cover you? If yes, for how long?

Becky, if you can provide us a bit more details, we can probably provide you with more ideas of what to do next.

Is there a Human Resource or Personnel department?  If there is, call them and contact them about FMLA benefits.
