[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your parents really don't need anything right now. Periodically check in with the sibling who lives them about how your parents are doing and how the sibling is managing. And be supportive of that sibling. My mother lives in a rural area with my brother about a 6-hour drive from me. As my mother has aged, her needs have changed, but there's nothing dramatic that she needs. Supporting my brother has become what I can do. And it's really hard to prepare because you usually can't predict how their health will go. Some people linger a long time, some are robust, some decline quickly, and some just suddenly die. The best you can do to prepare or help right now is to maintain a good, supportive relationship with your siblings and parents. Visit when you can. And give your siblings a break if and when they need it.[/quote]
