But don't worry about how he will judge your response or lack of it. He knows you're there.

Thirded conditionally. I started to post reasons why I would call and ask bluntly, i.e., did something happened, and is there anything I can do to help you through this... but its been a few days, and anything that had to be done on a practical level should have been done already.
On another note, just some general advice that might help somebody through an extended period of horror in these situations. I your dad is a business-type and he handles all of the business at home (incl... check writing and all financial transactions), well, that's not always a great idea.
Specifically, if mom has to figure out from where it comes, and where it goes, all at once after dad goes to the great vacation in the sky, well mom might find that a bit much to learn.
And a bit stressful if she is under the impression that more comes in than actually does. Think stroke-inducing stressful.
From one who has been there.
