My father died suddenly at home, 800 miles from here. My wife and I moved my mother and her sister to be near us so we could care for them until they died in their 90's.

@exexec My mom is 79 now and as the only unmarried child I feel obliged to take care of her. I’m not sure if it would feel different though if I had a partner. Was it easier for you?

@TessDun Yes, my wife was a big help in caring for our super-elderly ladies. Sometimes, I had trouble talking to them, and she knew what to say.
