My father was one of 11 children, three male, eight female. All but two lived and worked within 50 miles from where they grew up. When his grandmother and mother grew ill, one of his sisters — divorced and with a young son — moved in to care for each of them until they passed away. That was the norm.
It is the norm no longer.
