Dear Abby: I’m carrying all responsibility for our mom after Dad’s death. Why won’t my brother’s help?

Following their father's death, a son is managing all responsibilities for his widowed mother, who struggles with basic daily tasks like eating and dressing. While he and his wife provide frequent visits, calls, and legal assistance, his brothers have not visited since the funeral or called often. Despite the son's own mourning and efforts to secure professional counseling and home help, he faces long waiting lists and feels overwhelmed by the lack of sibling support.
