I'm going to refuse my friend's mom's request to visit her daughter in the hospital
Why do you not want to go visit her in the hospital?
I guess I really need to let her go when she's in pain.
Your family and friends are there when you need them so it is better to be there as well if they need you. They need moral and emotional support from you and it is the time when they need you the most.
I worked hard to get where I am as far as my studies and it's my first time taking a 2 weeks break. I am not sure I want to spend the time in a hospital. But I get what you're saying. I am going to try to make some time if possible.
Well, I don't know if I believe that you will just yet. Just in case you're in need of a refresher, it is always kinder to do things for others and not yourself. Be selfless and think about other people, being there for them will be appreciated greatly.
