Birth mother

I just found my birth mother who I haven't seen or been in contact with in 17 years. 
She is the sweetest woman and I am so very grateful. 
She has liver failure though and is in end stage...:( it breaks my heart and I hope and pray she makes it through long enough for me to see her face and hear her voice. 
What all happens when the liver completely dies? Does she go to? I am scared...
