I'm wondering if you could write her a letter saying all the things in your heart. Try putting your fears, your hopes and your anger down on paper. Then go and read it to her.
The writing, in and of itself, is theraputic. And it would allow you to choose words to convey the depth of your feelings. She may not still be able to take it all in, nor can she change what is happening. But you will have said what you need to say and she will have it to reread over and over - when you are sitting there. I think they can sometimes "get" what we are trying to say later, when they aren't split between their own feelings and monitoring ours.
All that said, I don't want to go today either. So maybe we should just meet at the beach and sit quietly watching the waves.
