I am sorry to hear this @Kingsbridge. People with dementia seem to cling to life and go on for far longer than you would believe possible. My mum went 17 days with no food or fluid (but not many go that long) and only needed the syringe driver for the last three days.

This limbo land is emotionally hard. Please look after yourself and remember to eat and sleep
