[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Through mouth or IV. I have a family member who is on morphine - for last 5 days. Its a torture to watch her everyday like this aslep with nothing except meds going in her. Anyone else experienced this? How long before they passed? She hadn't eaten from even 4/5 days before that. [/quote] I'm so sorry you're all going through this. May she pass peacefully soon. When my grandfather was on hospice we were instructed to use the morphine drops if he showed any sign of discomfort. This helped him die comfortably. If there are circulation changes (my understanding is that their feet will look different but I don't know how) or blood pressure changes that might be a sign death is imminent. Hugs to you. [/quote]
