    She's in the hospital now. We've known for the last few months that she's been really sick. She has what started out as just lung cancer. Then they found cancer in her spine. There's no cure, and she had been out of the hospital for a few weeks. She was rushed back earlier today, and doing really badly. They think she's dying. I'm really sad and scared now, because I didn't get to see her since September, before she was sick. And I was supposed to see her this weekend but I was sick...she wanted to see me before she died and hear me play the violin one last time...I want to do that but now I'm not sure I can and I don't know what to do...I don't even think this post makes sense and I don't know why I'm posting it either because it's not like anyone can help

    My sister, I'm sorry to hear this.
    I think you need to go play for her.
    This will calm the spirit of both of you.
    All I can say is that I will send positive energy your way.
    Just remember, time heals all wounds.

    My thoughts are with her... I hope for the best. :) I guess there isn't much anyone can do. That's life for you. But people who are sick almost always heal more easily if they believe they will. Just do all you can to make her be comfortable. :) I know a man who was said to be terminally ill. That was five years ago :) He's still alive in a nursing home... I visited him today and my mom made him a cake (she's a nurse). I met him through volunteering therre.

    i always feel weird saying my opinion about this because i've never been in this situation, but like others have said, i think that people who believe they can be healed will be, and those whose time it is to go will pass when they need to. if your grandmother wants to hear you play the violin, i think you must play for her. perhaps it will help her to heal, and if not, do not feel badly. if it is her time to move on, she will, and she will have the peace of leaving with that beautiful music ringing in her mind. either way, you have helped her. i'm very sorry that you must confront this situation. it must be painful. i send many good vibes your way.

    Please play for your grandmother. Music speaks at so many levels that mere words cannot convey. I feel in my heart that it's absolutely beautiful to hear you play though I've never heard it in real life. My thoughts and daily prayers go out to the both of you. Much love.
