What a loving, honest, and sensitive explanation for her. I'm so sorry for your impending loss. Schr�dinger's cat walks into a bar. And doesn't.

I am so sad for you both, in fact, for all three of you. I do know that you and your daughter will be a great comfort to each other, even in a situation that seems comfortless.
