| If you're in the USA, I'd suggest contacting the American Cancer
Society. I suspect they've dealt with this question, and have
the resources and pointers that can help you, and the family.

| Your (or her) local Hospice organization is a wealth of physical /
medical, as well emotional, support.
And from my experience - no matter how hard it may be to see her, even
if near the end she doesn't recognize anyone, don't stop seeing her and
her family. She and her family will need to know that people still care
*no matter what!*

The "loving thing to do" is what .2 said; be with her and her
family. No matter what. That "no matter" includes after she passes
on, just as far as "her family" is concerned. They'll need you then.
Hope this helps,

At the same time, try not to overwhelm the family. They need time with
her too.

Thank you. Your advice is greatly appreciated and so reminiscent
of a Digital I once knew long, long ago.
Peace,

I lost my Mother to cancer last year, the thing I reget the most is
not ever talking about her dying - we all knew she was going to die
but none of us ever mentioned it. Thinking back now, we should have
asked her if she was afraid (who isn't) and helped her with her fears.
I miss her

When I got to work today.....I learned of her passing. I swear I feel
as though I have been robbed of something of great worth. I'm only
consoled by the fact that while she was in this life, she was a true
friend.....when a true friend was hard to find. Although gone, not
forgotten.
Peace,
