It's not easy to get that call.
I got a similar one last year - my father was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and not given long. Unfortunately I wasnt able to fly back "home" because I had just become pregnant after many years of trying and was banned from flying for fear of losing the baby. A tough dilemma
I didnt fly, and suddenly the UK feels like "home" again and so far away.
Best wishes.

It happens to us all oneday and you being here or there when it happens wouldn't have made any difference.
Don't ever feel that because you chose to live in Aus that you should ever feel guilty in anyway whatsoever.
Take care!

Never know what to say. I'm so sorry for your loss. Hope your flights are smooth.
Mick_Newcastle is right, though, try not to be too hard on yourself.
