Find Care & Housing
Something I just thought about- in my mother in laws living will she has declared to withhold food, nutrition, hydration, and feeding tubes for reasons of prolonging the dying process. And by someone forcing or pestering her about eating when she doesn’t want to, goes against honoring her requests. If she wants to eat, cool. If not, then I’ll honor her wishes.

Nothing. She's 88. Report to her physician that she is refusing to eat so they are aware of what's going on and give her the GD sweets. She's 88. Not only is she a grown woman who can decide if she wants to eat or not and what she wants to eat, but she has a right to not want to prolong the inevitable, while suffering in pain, boredom, sadness. Able to do very little for herself anymore. That's not living. That's existing. Let her decide how long she wants to just exist.
