My mother is in a NH with Parkinsons, stroke and dementia. I can't figure out what her process will be as it probably depends on which she succumbs to first. Personally I hope it's a stroke as she'll just be gone with no lingering and suffering.

Justme, its not that strange - they call it the "golden glow" and *a lot* of people will seem to rally or perk up a bit right before they pass on. Not sure what the physiology of it is really is, but for many its a chance to sneak in that last "I love you, I'll miss you and thank you!" For me, it was Mom getting a little wheelchair stroll around a garden and enjoying it - hadn't been up for that in a while, let alone actually appreciating a bit of nature! - and eating one last piece of pizza with us the night before she passed away. For you and grandma, it's the end of a long struggle...I hope it is peaceful enough, and leaves you with a good memory and at least the knowledge that you wre there for her! Hugs...prayers...
