My heart goes out to you. I can't imagine what it's like to have your partner ask that question of you, but having watched my mother hold on for days until we could reach out to my brother and put the phone to her ear, sometimes it's that one little thing on her to do list before she is ready that will keep her hanging on. Its so hard to watch any loved one go through this, eat well and get some rest when you can, you have all of our support of course.
