When my mom was terminally ill we had to discuss whether we should tell her. She was still fully cognizant though incapacitated.
Telling her was one of the hardest things I've done. Her reaction was horribly sad and upsetting. But, ultimately, I think it did allow her to let go and just allow herself to be loved by us in her last days.
For the record (should the time come) lie to me.
"Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after."
"Also, Ray Toro isn't married."
Oh, if I'm fully cognizant tell me stuff.

And that outfit was at least color-coordinated. There's another one where she looks like she's wearing a pair of tights she nicked off a toddler.
I got my daughter tights like that for her birthday (which is tomorrow). In my defense, she's turning 5. She'll love 'em.
Aww, Del Martin died. Still, so amazing that she and Phyllis Lyon were able to legally marry after 55 years together.

Wait, her doctor told you and not her?
