Terrible thing Be-bop. I think the advice the others have given you is spot on. Time does weigh heavy on someone who is sick, but it also weighs heavy on those who share their pain. Like Ali said, sometimes it helps when someone else comes in. When someone is close to the end, every moment seems precious, but in truth we need a bit of normality in order to cope.

A good friend of mine has been going through a similar experience with her best friend and neighbour. She's at the end of that journey now, just a few days left. Linda has spent a lot of time at the house with her and I know Lynne's family welcomed that.

All you can do is follow your instincts.
