How lovely to read!
I have only recently joined this forum, as I am having a bit of a scare myself, but have found it such a help to be able to "talk" about my parents battles with cancer and ultimate deaths.
My Mum passed away 4 years ago, and during her final six weeks of life, she could not eat or drink. It was awful absolutely awful. trying to get her to eat the tiniest bit of food, but this would make her sick, holding cups to her mouth for her to sip a drop of water. I can only describe the feelings I felt as desparately sad and helpless. I would bake cakes to take into the hospice to try and tempt her - to no avail. And even when she could manage a mouthful, this would be followed by retching and bawking, which was so distressing to watch and so upsetting and distressing for her.
I am so glad to hear that your Mum is able to eat and drink in her wakeful moments, and is still enjoying doing so.! My thoughts were always, if you still want to eat, things are never that bad!!!
May she continue like this up to her last moments, and may this give you strength and peace of mind.
God bless. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
