Comfort care: Yes, at any age massive brain hemorrhage is deadly tragic kind of stroke( CVA). There is much damage to brain done to operate and in your nanna's age 90! Bless her heart but all she nedds to be pain free, not feeling that she cant breath. Comfort care is a protocol in such cases. She will pass without any discomfort. Family can spent ladt moment at her side .
