Lindsay knows what's going on and I'm sure she understands. Like I said before, you, Lindsay, whoever is close is going to catch hell. Fair, no, but that's the way it is.

Depending on overall health her mom could last a week, sounds like less in her case. It's hard to watch someone fade away so try to understand what Maureen is going through. Mom's and adult daughters can have an awful strong bond. Women don't accept that this is a part of life the way men do either. The next few days are going to be bad, not for her mom but for Maureen. In her state her mom's body will just slowly shut down. It sounds cruel but it's not. The hunger passes and they don't feel any pain. The organs just shut down until it's over. Not easy to watch, we watched Lynda's father go that way, but it's not cruel, they go peacefully.

Hang in there Gary, your best friend is having her insides ripped out right now. It will be over soon and it will get better.
