Get her permission: To discuss it with her dr. Grandmother of a 47 myear-old must be very old, unless she is senile, in which case she can not give permission. She may only require hospice care at her age. Basically, will be wonderful if you are just there for her support emotionally. Just your asking suggests that your heart is in the right place.
