I have a bed bound, slightly demented, 85 year old, dad who is now dying, the end of life care plan was agreed last week. They have been losing weight as they don’t want to eat and are now down to 49kgs. The home he is in were talking about increasing his dietary supplement but, realistically, is there any point? He won’t get better, get out of bed or walk, am I prolonging things or will I cause more pain to him? I thought stopping eating was part of the closing down process.
