"Aaron,
I'm sorry to hear about your friend, and wish her the best. I can certainly relate, as my mom had a 15-year battle with cancer.
I think that you might be being a bit harsh on yourself though. As a critic, you are doing your job--and well I'd add--to express your views on Uncharted 2. Personally I think that it's great that you're expressing a dessenting opinion (I agree that the game is highly overrated!).
It's certainly understandable that this tragic situation has made you re-assess what's important in life. Of course, spending time with friends and family is more important than focusing on one's job--[i]no matter what that job is[/i] (game-critic or anything else). If you had known that your friend was going to take a turn for the worse, clearly you would have changed your focus over the past few days, but this was impossible to predict so I think you're being too hard on yourself.
That said, I'm glad you've written blog that helps put things in perspective, for both gamers and critics alike. All the best."
