[quote=Anonymous]OP, others have already said it, but TELL HER! I lost my MIL last year. We had a very good relationship and I had told her many times how great I thought she was, etc. but she went downhill very fast at the end and I had not seen her for a few months (long story). By the time I got to the hospital in the final day/hours, I'm not sure how much she could comprehend. She fought dying so hard every step...... I was afraid to really say goodbye b/c I thought it might upset her more (if she understood). But, like you, what I wanted to tell her was what an amazing job she had done raising 3 incredible kids on her own. How much I loved and appreciated her and how grateful I was to have her has my MIL and grandmother to our kids. I wanted to tell her not to worry, that we would all take care of each other.... so just tell. Again and again, in whatever ways you can. Sorry you are going through this, it sucks.[/quote]
