My mother who I care for is refusing to eat & is restricting her fluid intake as she wants her life to end. My sister has informed her doctor who says there is nothing he can do until she gets ill. My mother refuses to see the doctor & constantly blames my sister & I for not respecting her wishes in wanting to die when we try to encourage her to eat & drink. Advice please..
It sounds to me like she is gravely ill. What can you do? Sit with her and love her and hold her hand. Don't feel guilty about going home to rest and eat. You have to do that. I hope they can help her recover. Please let us know what happens.
I am so sorry for your mother and you.
