This is my first, and I’ll say…and a very difficult post. My mom has Lewy Body dementia and Vascular dementia and has been in hospital for the past 3 months. She barely ate anything over the past 3 months, and has a catheter. During the 3 months she has been in bed and has a massive bed sore on her bottom that causes her excruciating pain. They turn her regularly and the hospital staff are great and quite kind. The doctors advised us a few days ago that my mom had been moved to comfort care measures. She is no longer taking any food, and barely any water. They are medicating her for pain and keeping her comfortable. We are told different things from different doctors. One will say she will pass any day, another will say it could be weeks. She forgets how to swallow and coughs when she does drink water. She hallucinates almost all the time. I hate this disease. My mom was a strong Scottish woman and I know she would not want to live like this. Now that she has been moved to comfort care measures, how long does it typically take for a person to pass? What are the signs? This is just awful. Has anyone experienced this? This is what my mom looks like in her bed. I’m heartbroken.
