My grandmother, is right now, on her death bed. She was like my second mother and if not for her, a lot of times my brother and I wouldn't have had clothes to wear when we were little. She got cancer 10 years ago and was told then she has six months to live. She has chronic lymphatic leukemia, has had 2 strokes and has emphysema (never smoked, it was 2nd hand smoke). The strokes caused the nerves in one side of her face to die so her face fell and also damaged her vocal chords so its very hard to understand her. Her intestines have shut down and her kidneys are shutting down now. She cannot speak to anyone but managed to whisper "I love you" to my 3 year old daughter, which was the most crushing moment of my life. I guess my question is, God let her go on this long and now that she has days, maybe hours, to live, what is the most important thing to do? Just sit with her and be there, pray to her, what would you be doing?
