Thank you so much for your prayers. Sad to say, she is very bitter; she's kind of shutting down and driving people out of her life. That sounds like a good book-thanks for the suggestion! I'll get a copy for her and see if she'll read it. Ooooo, ooooo, Whitehorse. That gives me an idea.
She sounds just like that lady in Disney's "Pollyanna"(the 1961 one), when Pollyanna goes to visit her--"Mrs. Snow", I believe is her name.
When she gets there, she's in bed, surrounded by bottles of pills, and more pills, complaining and whining.
ANd THEN, shows up the mortician--measuring her for her casket and asking if she wants silver handles or brass handles!!
Pollyanna balls her out, and tells her she should be ashamed of herself, and that she's not coming back to see her anymore.
It's very good scene(actually, I think it might happen in two separate scenes, there). Very good lines, I think.
Might be difficult to pull it off, but too bad your friend there couldn't see Mrs. Snow there. In fact, the whole movie is pretty good.
