I know this is an older question but I hope your Aunt is doing better now?? I was going to suggest just being there for her and to tell her See also:

See all 95 questions about Grief and Loss
life and illness is unpredicable and to not feel so gulity over the decisions that were out of her control, I too promised my Mom she would NEVER go to or die in a nursing home (actually she passed in the hospital) and I did my best for 10 years to keep her out of one..in the end her serious illnesses and there were many were just to much physcially for me to handle and no one else in the family wanted to step up and help me...I do feel bad to this day but my husband and brother tell me over & over I did the best I could..God Bless and hoping things have improved for your Aunt and you too "-) xo xo Joanne
