There may be 2 sides to the coin. May be she has heartless children or sibling. Or may be the old patient was a very bad person in their younger days so their children/sibling don't want anything to do with that person. But the former case may be more common.

I like how all ktard bharat haters conveniently ignore this line as it would pose soalan susah to their racist worldview:

maybe ada story behind, maybe she did something that piss off the rest of relative or brought problems to the family?

The old folks home near my house, they accept the old people for free, everyone has their own story. Some abandon their wife and children 20-30 years ago, some gamble until pokai, some is fiery attitude.

Sometimes the reason is just simply no time.

A bed ridden old folk that can't take care of themselves need special attention.

A working family can't take care of them, if they can't afford a maid/nurse, then who will look after them at home?

It is different if the person who needs care only needs it for short term like 1 week compared to needing care 24/7 until they die.

Such problems are widespread as our lifespan increases and there are more life-saving medicines to keep a person alive.

Something so wrong in the family education nowadays. Family education burden cannot be left to be taught by school or religious entity; it must be taught by the family themselves.

That’s why don’t dispose off your old ICE car even when bought EV. ICE car can be used as personal euthanasia device when the time comes.

to those who want to be single, the money not spent on children better be put inside some savings for retirement village when old ok..

True story - got a single friend now almost 50, spend entire life rejoicing himself travel... now house also don't have. Savings don't have. He does not realize he is reaching the end of his working life... maybe another 5-10 years left before companies will look for younger people already.

that's recipe for old age poverty and abandonment.

To the singles out there... the least you can do is don't let your parents worry for you... save a lot of money for retirement ok

My grand aunt took care of my great grandmother but my grand aunt didn't have children to take care of her (unmarried). In her final days she lived with her sister.

Tiger parents pushing kids to study hard 24/7 and find money hard coz they think it is the culture and way of life without considering the kids well being
