Here's a copy/paste from a @Ridgeline post.
Last paragraph will answer your question about employment gap.

What is needed is documenting the employment or the time you were not employed, not proof of you working, if you understand what I mean.

The FMCSA doesn't give a crap what you did, other than you worked for a company under FMCSA rules, so you just have to explain what you did.

From my end of the hiring process, I have to document an applicant's employment, including gaps. I can and have accepted a notarized statement with the dates and the work done to satisfy the FMCSA requirements.

I believe you, and sorry for your loss. My wife and I did the same thing but hired a full time care giver. NOT an easy thing to do, almost impossible, i know for a fact. You are an amazing person, and You did the right thing taking care of your parents. DONT ever think you made the wrong move, you did right!! If i were to own a trucking business, I WOULD HIRE YOU RIGHT AWAY. Again, you did the right thing taking care of them. Keep you head up, you will survive. I know exactly what you went through. your a GREAT MAN. GOOD LUCK
