Would you want to be with your parent in their final moments?

My mom passed last october at home. I was her caregiver and knew the time was coming and called my brother across country and he flew home. Now I come from a large family. The day came where we knew this was probably it, so my brother called everyone, two of my sisters came right over. My one brother was six hours away and couldn't make it. My oldest brother lived in another state and he had come when she first went on hospice because he only wanted to come when she was still talking. (which hello, she was still able to talk until a few days before her death) Anyway I have another brother and sister that live less than an hour away they declined to come. Well I am realizing how after all this time I am angry at my siblings for this. I know some people can't handle certain things but my mom lived her life around her children and grandchildren and the ones who didn't come (except the brother 6 hours away) are the ones who asked the most of her. I have become distant from alot of my family since my moms death for a number of reasons which are complicated but I am beginning to think this is one of the main ones I think they owed more to her. Am I being to judgemental? please pray for me to find peace with alot of this. Thank you
