Sorry to hear the news Greg. But don't think that morphine, or whatever stuff they give her is a bad thing either. My favorite uncle got beat down by colo-rectal cancer, and was doped up beyond the stars in his final days. The stuff he was saying and doing was pretty weird, and spooky. His family opted to bring him out of it so they could communicate with him better in his last days, and it was a terrible mistake. He was suffering so bad, and in so much pain that the incoherent, crazy talk guy, was a far better option, and he was immediately put back on his cocktail of happy drugs where he continued to talk about alien conspiracies, and black hole physics... which was really weird, since he had zero interest in that stuff his entire life.
My condolences.
