I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. Marci lost her mother in a very similar way. The doctor failed to diagnose her back pains. At one point they had her scheduled to see a psychiatrist. By the time they ran even a simple x-ray, it was too late. It was just about the time Jeffrey, her first grandchild, was born. The hospital had a video camera installed in the lobby so that patients could see visitors who weren't allowed in. I held Jeffrey up to the camera so that she could see her grandson. She died that day, just 4 days after being admitted.
Your grandmother was very smart to write a living will. After seeing what happened in Florida, I think the right to choose the way we die is as important as the right to choose the way we live.
Take care of yourself and your family.
