Ok first things first: this is not a matter of letting anybody down. Health problems, of that kind, are as valid as any other - and the not coping is a symptom of that. If you came down with shingles would you feel you were letting us down?
Secondly - you can give your workplace edited highlights - there is no need to give the whole kit and kaboodle. Being clinically depressed (for example) is a recognised illness and ongoing condition and as long as you gave plenty of notice and explained that this was necessary for your health I doubt they'd feel very comfortable firing you.
It's definitely worth considering. The big question is what about Diz? If your dental health (;p) is the issue then hopefully they understand the severely negative impact of losing him?
[eta]you will not and will never lose the love of your parents.
