Regarding ailing and failing elderly parents and relatives, at the time when you are caring for them it is exhausting, exasperating, thankless, life draining and you think the misery will never end.
But you can only do as much as you can within your abilities and within your capabilities.
Later, much much later you stop being hard on yourself and look back and realise that you actually did a good job.

I know I could have done more for my Dad but I did the best that I could. I was juggling homelife and 3 challenging teens so we muddled along and managed well enough. I know we had some good quality time in the 1st year after he went into the home but the final decline was very rapid, only about 6 weeks.

Sorry to hear about all this tweets. I can honestly say my hubby was brilliant with his mum....he has 2 brothers...one did equally as much but the other did naff all !
I have a sister who told everyone she helped our mum but didn't do half as much as me.
Both mums are no longer with us and I have no contact with my sister. Families eh......

Thank you

I agree families . DS visiting this weekend but I not told mum she will be when she sees him.
