Ok that lasted like 12 hours but I need opinions on an ethical dilemma from people who are not my ridiculous stiff-upper-lip family.
My nana has lung cancer but cause she's stubborn and wants to be independent even though before she went back to the hospital she almost burnt the house down with her and my aunt in at least twice cause delerium (also seriously fuck you hospital why did you even discharge her?) she won't tell us anything more like what her prognosis on time is, didn't even want to tell us whats wrong with her at all but well she had a nasty turn last night and really she could die at any time.
Basically tho, me and my mum have been up to see her quite a lot but my 16 year old brother hasn't seen her in literally years and I think he should go see her now while he still can (I have been saying this for ages tbh but now is more urgent than ever) or he'll regret it, but my mum thinks it'll be super shocking and it'd be better if he remembers her when she was healthy? If it helps he's pretty mature and while a bit spoiled he's a good kid.
Idk what do you think? I wanna encourage him to go but I might just be projecting because when my granddad was sick I was meant to go visit him but he died before I could.
