Even heavy-duty narcotics may not ease the pain adequately. This is bad news, especially for people with diabetes. Up to 16 percent of them may suffer with diabetic neuropathy and often get little help alleviating the pain. Certain supplements can be helpful, though.
Our Hospice nurses told me that people usually die about two weeks after they stop eating and that not wanting to eat shows that the body is shutting down and metabolism is changing. They said not to urge him (my husband) to eat but to offer light food and liquids only if he wants them.nfortunatey my Mom is dying from pancreatic cancer. She was diagnosed 7-17-10. She stopped eating 19 days ago. Hospice comes everyday...and for the last 7 days they prepared me for her to pass in 24 hours.
After Charles died, the hospice provided the family with free grief support for 13 months. Bereavement services included telephone calls, information about the grieving process, and support groups with families in similar situations. This is just one story of hospice care at home. Each patientâs and familyâs experience will be different depending on their circumstances. If you decide to receive hospice care, they will talk with you about what your personalized care would involve.
