I guess the stories of declining relatives and how to help them would be plentiful, if people were prepared to open up about them.

Unfortunately I never got to know this man well, his mother and I got together long after he joined the army at 17 and afterwards decided to settle 2,000 Km away in Queensland.
Met him 2 or 3 times in the past 36 years.

Wife has two other sons, who tend to stay away because her nagging/gabbling gets their tempers fired up real quick.
But I'm sure that they are thinking about their older brother, and have some concerns about themselves going down the same road.
