Anna, I am so sorry. I can't imagine how hard it is to keep up the "happy" face when you are there. I don't think it hurts for you to let her see how emotional it is for you because you love her so much. At this stage of her illness, I'm sure she already knows what her future is and there is no reason to pretend, but constantly reminding her of happy times, how much you appreciate how she has treated you, etc could do nothing but make her feel good. Cry together, laugh together and try to keep your chin up. I know she appreciates the fact that you and Mark are there for her.

We'll keep you all in our prayers.
