This sounds like a perfectly normal response from someone who has just learned she might die. I suggest you cut her some slack and make huge allowances. She's not in her normal state of mind.

Sometime the kindest thing you can do is to put up with temporary insanity and not hold it against them, now or ever.

PS:
And remember, you may not be in your normal state of mind, either. Cut yourself some slack, too.

Stopdog said it better.
