Hello everyone,
I’m new on this site and l wish l never had to use it but unfortunately l do as my mother had dementia and l think she’s in her final stage of this cruel illness.
Only a few weeks ago she was eating a little and holding a cup to sip liquid, she has been bed bound at home for about a year.
Anyway over the last few weeks she has got weak and doesn’t eat anymore and we give her liquid as she doesn’t hold a beaker anymore.. my mother sleeps most the time and has lost so much weight in weeks and just pushes drinks away when l try and give her some in a beaker . My mother’s eyes are mostly shut and when l talk to her it s a struggle to open her eyes before closing again.
At these final stages as my mother doesn’t respond to talking to her ... Can she hear me.
What can l do to help her in anyway..
Advice would be a help at this sad time ..
Thank you
