[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like kind decision to let her go with supportive comfort care, rather than prolong the dying process. Intervening with life prolonging decisions is not always kind nor helpful; is difficult decision. When illness is part of natural dying/end of life prolonging the dying process is not helpful or kind. Usually people just sort of sleep away their last days, can have some pain meds/sedation if needed for comfort. There is no stopwatch; everyone is different. If not taking in fluids, would think 4-5 day range but some people linger longer. [/quote]
