Feeling lost

I am really struggling right now....

My mum has metastatic lung cancer, terminal cancer. I'm devastated.

I have a small business and have a large tax bill coming up, as well as BAS bills for the next financial year... I am trying to work out how to pay this but reduce my earnings so I don't qualify for BAS which will reduce my bills....

I suffer from chronic migraines, and have fainted 2x times... and saw mt doxtor today, and have just been told I may not be able to drive for 6 months... which means I cant pay my bills!!!!!

I am so lost, I dont know how to get through this ....
