What you need to know about eating and drinking in last hours of living

Normally we want people to eat and drink to heal.  But for terminally ill, what does it mean when they no longer want food or fluids?  How do we continue to support them?  Find out about the dying process and how as a caregiver and family member your focus can shift to symptom management.  Listen also to Sally Herbert - whose father had Alzheimers - and her experience when he refused to eat and drink.This is the second of a series of talks about the last hours of living with the focus this week on food and fluids. In is natural to assume that what we have been told to do to recuperate and be healthy are the same as what is seen during the dying process. The approaches and rules are different when we are talking about the end of life. This series not only tells you what is different, but why it is different.Support the show🎧 Listen to more episodes: https://www.every1dies.org - also get notes, links and expanded resources Follow Us: Facebook | Instagram | YouTube   Email: [email protected]
