“They say how good the poor dead sister is, she was great, an amazing person, beautiful soul… I’m not denying any of that is true, why didn’t they help? Why didn’t they take her in or help with money so the other sister could hire help at home. The parents left all responsibility to the sister, and didn’t help in the slightest, why? Why not take their daughter back home and care for her, only because they are elderly, right! Good point, then you can all give them money so they can get help for their daughter, no? I have a close friend and sister, they both had to take the difficult decision to send their mother to a nursing home because the mother had a stroke, they tried for years to take care of her at home, it made their lives impossible, they couldn’t do anything without their mother, they had to be with her every day, all day. When they finally decided to take this most difficult step, their whole family came down on them, how could they be so heartless, their mother was a great person, the best, who are they to send her away? They told them: “how about you people take her? You bathe her, change her, clean her after the bathroom, do it for a week, then come talk to us.” Do you think anyone else tried? No, no one tried, and they treat them like crap for their decision. Where are the people abdicating for carer burnout? Of course this is a tragedy, but it took years, years of feeling alone and with no way out. Where were those “friends” that could have help avoid this ending? No one should have to believe murder suicide is their only way out, people saw their plight and did nothing.”
