I am not sure I understand why your mom does not want you to see him anymore unless it is save you the pain of seeing him in this condition. I personally believe that it should be your choice. I commend his wife for bringing him home to let him dye, but that is a very hard thing to do. I think you should really discuss with your mother why you want to see your uncle. Maybe if she understood, she will be more willing to let you see him.

Watching someone you love die is not an easy thing to do, and having noone to talk to about it is even harder. On April thirteenth I stood by my uncles bed as he took his last breath and next to losing my father it was the second hardest thing I have ever done. My uncle had spent fifteen years being sick and should have died several times in those years, but his body just would not give up. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
