she's been ventilator-dependent for months. she relies on others for everything. we can barely rouse her when we come into the room. and yet you are clinging to some fictional time when she will be "just like she was before," insisting that "she's a fighter" and she'll get through this.
i wish i could tell you that the best fighters know when they're beaten.

I can't help but think that this is an instance of simultaneously having enough distance from the situation to see the greater picture and, at the same time, being completely intimate with the situation to fully realize what is happening.
In any case, there seems to be a lot of thought behind these words of yours.
