It isn't easy to think about losing a parent, especially when a woman is expecting.
My mother passed away just before my 2nd daughter was born. She wasn't ill prior - it was surgical complications, so I didn't really have time to think about it.
It is also different for women - especially when they rely on their mother to help them with a new child.
As morbid as it may seem, you need to be prepared. Most people don't want to deal with the thought that they will die and they don't make all of their desires known. Make sure all her papers are in order. Take video of her.
and as Angel said, be there for your wife. The only thing you can really do now is be supportive.
Good luck - hopefully things will take a positive turn, even if only for a while.
