Mum won't eat

Less than one minute read time.

Hi all

Mum is still in hospital and we have been told that medically there is no more that can be done for her. So it is only palliative care now. She is on morphine for the pain and seems quite at peace with herself.

The only trouble is that she refuses to eat, she is drinking a little but the hospital think that they may have to put the drip back in to top up her fluids. They do not seem concerned about her non-eating though.

Is this normal??  They seem to think it is, but surely if she doesn't eat she will reduce her time left???  Comments please...... finding this hard to reconcile in my head!
