I am interested in reading experiences of primary caregivers of a dying parent.

14. I've been the primary caregiver of a parent for years now.

Fortunately, the parent is not dying, but she has basically needed someone with her 24/7 for the past few years. I imagine the situations are similar, although a dying parent would most likely need even more attention and care.

And, no, none of my siblings share in any of the responsibilities. I actually gave up my career and moved back home to look after my mom, when I had several siblings in the same city (doing a lot of nothing with their lives) that just chose not to. Shortly afterwards, my mom fell and broke her arm, and I remember calling each sibling and not one of them picked up -- what would she have done if I wasn't around?

As for my feelings towards my siblings, I resent them so much and want nothing to do with them ever again. I don't even view them as family, because family wouldn't let down other family members like this (and I am referring to looking after their elderly mom, not me, I couldn't care less about their relationship with me).
