if u can find someone to help u,
fire her at once as this maybe a lie, she is going to oversea e.g. Canda
if u fire her at once, she will have a bad record
Don't worry too much. Worry can't help you solve the problems. Please see if mama or porpor can help and find part-timer to help you before the arrival of new maid. I've encountered similar experience of losing maid suddenly, incl one borrowed money but claimed her husband and son got serious traffic accident, one said no money to come when the case was approved, one requested to leave after 1 week of arrival coz she claimed she'd got home sick........
During the terrible experience, I've also received a surgery on both hands. I even could not take care of myself and I got a 3 years old son. No help from mama(too busy) and porpor(too old). So I turned from a working woman to a housewife now. But the days are happy now. You can overcome it.
