Hi
This is such a tough thing for you to go through
We went through it last year with my dad he died of lung cancer we had 12 weeks with him
The only advice I can give is be yourself the friend she loves
Cry together and laugh together talk or just sit and listen she will guide you
And most important cherish every single moment you spend together for these will be your memories after she has gone
My heart goes out to you

Kim,

I know just how difficult this can be, many members on here know what I attempted to do in helping Daff last year. I also nursed my sister in her home until she passed away.

No details on here but if you want to pm me please do. I had more coping skills than I could have imagined and you will too.

Just adding to what Pamela said. Make sure that what she wants as far as funeral arrangements, etc. are concerned, are known to whoever will actually be arranging the funeral.
Another lady on this thread did all the visiting and clearing out of her father's things, but when her brothers heard of his death, they wanted things to be different and she wasn't able to carry out all of what her Dad would have wanted.

If you know the next of kin, I'm sure you will be able to let them know - even if only a little at a time - what her wishes are. That way, there won't be any worries when the time comes. Get it sorted now and put it behind you while you spend as much time caring as you can. My thoughts go with you.
