Hi everyone its been a year since I posted my first ever post on here looking for some advice one day when my Mum got aggressive. So much has happened but now my Mums condition has deteriorated so much and she is bed bound, not eating, sleeping alot and the care staff at her nursing home are sponging her mouth with water.
This all feels so final but I've read this stage can last several weeks. I'm not sure I can have the goodbye conversation many more times. Selfish as that sounds.
The care staff have said we should get anyone who wants to visit up so I guess they think its not to far away.
My questions really is how long can someone survive without food?
My guilt is kicking in and I wonder whether I should bring her to my house so she is not alone.
This really is the nastiest disease & it's ripping my family apart.
