   1. Been there, done that. Wish dearly Mother-in-Law hadn’t gone so early, and still remember her with fondness. My own Mum – was the “daughter-on-call” for over 20 years before it was finally decided she had to go into a home – and, in the last months before this happened, the family was openly speculating who would land in hospital first, Mum or me.
