IMHO the experiences I've witnessed these past few years is that doctors' are already frank. Family members and friends who've gone to be with The Lord, nearly know the exact hour and minute the transition will occur. I visited my cousin and her husband said, "She can go anytime now." A friend said, "They asked me if I wanted "last rights." Another friend's husband said, "she knew she was dying." Another cousins has two weeks to live and yet another has only days left. Methinks they're being blunt enough!!! At least in this area of the country they are!!!
