I think if you explain everything to your boss, you'll find him more compassionate than you expect. They've already gone out of their way to demonstrate that they care, and if this change means that you're going to be able to spend more time with your father in his last days, I'll bet they will be sorry to see you go but happy that you'll do well under the circumstances.
All companies are not out to be dehumanizing. Just don't burn the bridge and stay in touch if it seems appropriate.
