Claire,
I'm so sorry to hear abut your aunt. But as others have said on here, you are needed here in the UK and your husband will manage with your children. (Us women naturally think we are the only ones able enough to look after our children, but of course deep down we know our husbands are equally as capable).
We discovered in August that my aunt in Brisbane (who is also my sponsor) has terminal cancer. It has come as a huge shock to us. She is 56. We do not know how long she has, but are hoping and praying that we will see her again next year. My mum and her other sister have recently made the painful trip of going over to see her, probably for the last time. They made the most of the time they had with her and will cherish those memories forever. You must also keep hold of the memories of your aunt.
You've now decided where you should be at this difficult time and you've made the right decision, and I'm sure you will be an enormous comfort to your Mum and Nan.
Unfortunately, the hardest part of this whole immigration process is facing up to the fact that we will all have to deal with situation at some time or another. But we will each deal with it as and when the time comes.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Take care
