DAE nparent bring up the death card? aka “If I drop dead tomorrow.” “If I die from stress and exhaustion” to make you feel guilty?

oh god, yes! And I always feel guilty but try to push it away.

"What would you do if I drop dead tomorrow? Who would care for you? You'd be all alone and miss me and regret everything!"

Saying the same thing to her doesn't do the trick. Also doesn't help that I have nightmares about it from time to time and she has some serious health issues but doesn't want to stay in the hospital to get it treated (with free healthcare...) but makes me wait in the hospital with her for hours, talks to the doc quickly, they sign her up for night stay and then she decides to leave...

I feel like such a shitty person to feel annoyed by that behaviour and anxious all the time and idk how to stop it. I know she's just acting martyr like and wants attention or something, but that doesn't make it easier...
