blaming myself for parent's health

My parent was hospitalized with severe COVID and pneumonia, and I feel guilty for not doing more to help.

What I wish I knew
"the importance of emotional support during a parent's illness"
If I could tell you one thing
"don't blame yourself for things beyond your control"
