What's the best way to show support for someone who's losing their mother?

Question

My mom and I just found out Thursday that my grandma (my mother's mom) is dieing from cancer. She's far past being helped by medicine, and even if they could save her she doesn't want to be saved. Although my grandma is very happy to go, no one wants to lose her. My mom has been falling apart these last few days, and I am too. I want to help my mom get through this but I'm not really good at this kind of thing so I don't know what to do... I keep telling her that I love her and I'm here for her but I still feel it's not enough. I can't stand to see her suffer. What's the best way to support someone who's losing their mom?

Just keep doing what you are doing.  You sound like a sweet, caring daughter.  Little things mean a lot, do more chores, do the laundry, cook supper, do it all without asking.  Make her a cup of tea or coffee and just bring it to her .  Buy her a sweet card and tell her you love her.  Make up a little care basket, with some sweet soap, hand cream, a bit of chocolate, and leave it on her bed.  Try to figure out what she needs before she has to ask.  Give her hug, hold her hand.  She is so fortunate to have you.  Peace to you and I am so sorry about your grandma

Just be there for her and give her a hug once in a while. I lost my Mom to cancer about 2 years ago and just having friends and family around was the best thing I got. Also support you Grandmother's decision, she is doing what is right for her. i know it's hard for you and your Mom but it is the right thing for her. Good luck, losing family is hard but you will always remember her and that way she keeps living on for you.

Kill yourself with a suicide note saying "hows that mom?"

No I'm kidding.
