I'll pray for everyone involved.

You didn't ask for advice, but I'll give you this little bit: many years from now, you will think back on this episode, and you will remember your choices and you will want to feel that you did the right thing. Being at the hospital and supporting family members is never a bad choice. Other choices, in hindsight, may be far less appealing, but by then it's too late to make a better choice. Sometimes it's good to do the hard things.

I just want to back up what ClearCaseguy suggested. I wanted to add:

Many of us have been in the same dark place where you are. Please consider going to the hospital to offer support, even if that support is simply holding someone’s hand or hugging someone. These are the times when support offered to and received from family can be the best therapy.

Pinging for prayer.

That’s very good advice, and it was kind of you to offer it. There are no do-overs in life, and failing to be there for your family when they need you results in regrets that are very difficult to live with.

WY, you and your family are in my prayers. I know this is painful. God be with you, and bless you.
