"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.

Beautiful people do not just happen."- Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Ten Days of end-of-life tips… Day # 7

When someone stops eating or drinking, it can be really hard to accept, but it is a normal part of the dying process. If they stop drinking, their mouth may be dry, but this does not always mean they are dehydrated.

Sometimes it is a matter of safety to stop the food and water… trust that too. The last thing you want is for your person to aspirate.

Most people equate food to love and when they cannot provide that, it feels like you are hurting them… I get that. Please know that you are not.

Being at their bedside, talking to them, massaging their hands or feet, reading to them, playing their favorite music, or just letting them know they are safe and not alone can bring comfort… do these things instead ❤️
