I miss taking care of my mom. She had metastatic breast cancer. She passed away March 14. My dad I was and am still taking care of him as well. He is a veteran. I have lost hours and hours of work over the last 6 months. Since my mom passed away, I continue to help care for my dad and just was wondering if there is any financial help for me. it’s a lot of work and I’m getting behind in my bills.

The vast majority of grown children who take care of a parent(s) do not get paid, unless the parent(s) can pay that grown child from their own savings account.
You could check with your State Medicaid office [different from Medicare] to see what programs are available in your State [each State is different]. If there is a program where you can get paid, sadly it wouldn't be enough to live on. Or check with the Veteran Administration since your Dad was in the service.
I wish your Dad could get surgery for that artery blockage in his neck, as he is too young to ignore it.
