Probably is due to her age but your mum is probably worried. When you see a relative in such a bad way its kinda hard to keep optimistic when away from them.
When my grandad was in hospital, towards the end, i'd see him and he looked quite thin etc but we always talked to him about when he comes home etc Away from the hospital I did worry that he may not come home. 2 days before he passed away the nurses stopped kids visiting (I was 11) My last memory of seeing him was when I was leaving the hospital, waving bye to him and he waved back and 2 days later he died. The whole time he was in hospital we didnt stop believing that he'd come home, but of course theres always abit of doubt and sadly for us he didnt come home, but regarding your nan, your mum is probably in a similar position to what I was - wants your nan to come home, but knows she might not. I think you should send whatever card you want to send. Its a very thoughtful idea.
Remember how the runway lights looked one night long ago when you were lost and found your way, and how-you still dont know?
