I hated it when my Dad was put in a nursing home knowing he would die in there. I was working in Dallas and he was in NE Louisiana. He lasted 10 days. I had to be the one to tell him he had to go into the nursing home and he replied back to me "to die". I broke down. I still regret it. My Mom died six weeks later.

Man sorry to hear that. I'm an only child and moved back from Dallas to N Louisiana very close to my inlaws, and daughter/grandkids. My parents live in SE Louisiana which is 4 hours away. Better than 9 from Dallas, but still not as close as inlaws. I try to get to visit them once a month, as both are in their 80's. Both have said they will not move, so as an only child, I have to try to help them as much as I can. It's hard. I wish I could do more, have lots of guilt about it.
