It's kinda normal for bed bound old folks to wanna die sooner. But spiritual contentment can help. Can try this: you will definitely die grandma, maybe even very soon. So don't need to worry about it. It cannot be rushed. In the meantime, here's church choir to calm yourself down. Here is a mantra: I will die, that's for sure. Can repeat that for comfort.
They do need some source of joy, earing sense can be one. If she knows meditation it's even better. But as she's not Buddhist, she may not be open to guided meditation if you try to introduce that.
To say more on how to let go and allow oneself to die maybe seen as causing death, and breaking precepts, so I will just shut up now.
Good job on taking care of her well, just make sure that you guys, the immediate family are ready to let her go as well. And if she is hanging on to life because you guys cannot let her go, you guys need to give her permission to die in peace.
P.s. important to note that giving permission to die isn't the same as wishing the person to die. Have the first, not the second.
