Our family stayed with him till the end, we took shifts (mom would stay overnight and we would take turns staying throughout the day) and the night he passed my sister and mom was with him.

My mom suffered from dementia. I’d already resigned from my job to spend weekdays with her while my dad was at work. They went to their beach house on weekends. One day dad told me what he thought was a “funny” story of leaving my mom locked in the house (so she wouldn’t wander away). He turned off the a/c to save money on a very hot day. Mom no longer knew how to turn on the a/c. It got so hot in the house she called 911 and the police broke in and turned the a/c on for her. It was really frightening… especially my father’s absolute cluelessness about the dangers of the situation. That’s when I realized I needed to be with her 7 days a week. So I made the 2.5 hour drive to the beach every weekend in addition to spending weekdays with her. My sisters, who lived much closer to their beach house, just avoided the situation. Keep an eye on your elderly parents.

People are forgetting an important detail. MANY parents resent and resist kids getting bossy and trying to take over their lives checking on them like they were children. Even well meaning children. Unfortunately, having been in healthcare for 50 years there are more malevolent interest from kids or excessive control attempts from kids than kids being available to help and respecting by keeping a respectful distance and NOT try to take over like a dictator. That is rare. MANY adults and elderly fear that letting them get too nosey is opening the door for coup attempts and may not always answer the phone, or welcome concern. Sometimes it's BEST for the elderly to distance themselves, and sometimes not. WE don't know their concerns. Whether reasonable or not, or even present. Dr Laura's mother was dead months before she was found, and Weird Al's parents died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Unless invited, kids need to not impose themselves on their parents and if something goes wrong its not their fault. Parents are not minors. What are your adult children doing this moment? How about your parents? Are they alive right this minute? You really don't know unless they CHOOSE to have you with them..

[@peaceandquiet1983]

Thankyou so so so so much for this perspective. My mother is hostile to any help and refuses advice ALL THE TIME on tips to just make her kitchen more user friendly or lessen her work load in general.

My step dad got cancer during Covid and he and my mom hid it from everyone. It wasn't until he was on death's door that I realized that something was going on. I worked in "essential" retail during covid, so visits were restricted to phone calls on opposite sides of the patio door. I'm sure that if this daughter knew how bad it was, she would have done something. Even elderly people who are suffering from alzheimer's can conceal their symptoms pretty effectively. My mom now has dementia, and although she has progressed quite a bit in the last year, she was really good at hiding symptoms by claiming to be feeling ill when her mind was giving her trouble.

To all the people commenting with their told-you-so internet "wisdom." You are completely over simplifying a tragic situation for the perverse, momentary satisfaction of telling a grieving woman she let her parents down. You know nothing of her life, her back story (apparently she'd just had a surgery), or her relationship with her parents, etc. Many people simply cannot afford to take care of elderly relatives. Or give up homes, lives and livelihoods to move across country to be with them. Life doesn't always work out that way. Victim blamers are mentally sick. Try a little compassion for a change - you might find you feel a bit better about your own sad life too.

@@freespeech.7254. Stop shouting and being aggressive. Those parents were adults they could call 911 if they didn't feel well. Stop blaming any relatives who were not even living there. And you haven't died of heat exhaustion so yeah you don't know too.

Heat is increasing decomposition propagating more flies, fungie, pestilence diseases, even safety from heat can avoid heat related deaths, so if heat is common then is time for intergenerational living.

My mom passed away March 1st under very tragic conditions. I live in the desert. I get heat...and I understand the pain of a parent's death. That being said, this woman is no spring chicken & it sounds like her parents were alone and living very difficult lives. How old were they?? Death can be comforting for those ready to go.

You mean those in poverty

[@alymshep]

So, why were they left alone? 🤨 Rhonda? Now you made a GoFundMe?

[@debraannoconnell5148]

She just stated that she just had surgery and is low on cash.

[@debraannoconnell5148]

@poollife777 Maybe she was sick. I caught Covid and couldn't visit my mother bcuz she was not feeling well also had Dementia. My mom got sick on Tuesday and died on Friday. I couldn't do anything about it bcuz I caught Covid. Don't judge her you are not in her shoes.
