Okay, to make a long as short as I can:
After a huge argument ten years ago, I stop speaking to my parents, and so does my sister.
Five years ago, parents get divorced and my mother goes off somewhere (none of us know where she is).
Three years ago, my father develops Huntington’s Disease, and goes into a nursing home/mental health thing, because he can’t look after himself. None of us (me, sister, or mother) knew he was in there, and had no control over his treatment or anything. When he first went in, he always told the staff he didn’t want any kind of feeding tube, ever (he had a thing about it).
Two weeks ago, he refused his meds. Twelve days ago, he stopped eating. Ten days ago, he died.
My sister handled it all, as she was the only one the staff could track down after he died, and she’ll barely discuss it with me. I don’t think she knows very much herself.
