If you have been outside Canada for too long, you can apply for a PR travel document through any Canadian embassy. You will tell them that you do not meet the residency requirements and explain your humane & compassionate reasons why you should still keep your PR.
I can not tell you what the odds are to keep your PR. In most cases, they just look at the reasons why you left and what kept you away back then. In 1998, you would have lost your PR after only 6 months away. It is also possible that they will take your current situation into account.
