“I’m not talking about withholding nutrition and causing death.”
Yes you are.
Who are you, Satan’s Little Helper?
No I’m not “satans little helper” and I can’t help that you are completely ignorant. I am a Christian and a hospice nurse of many years.
How would you like to be held under water because you’re thirsty. How would you like for someone to force food down your throat if you can’t swallow or if its going to just sit in your stomach? Imagine someone forcing so much food into you that it backs up your esophagus and goes into your lungs?
When a persons body is shutting down naturally, you can pump feedings into their g tube and its going to sit in their stomach until it is full, then its going to back up into their lungs because their body will not digest it!
I will be happy to private message you my phone number so we can have a rational discussion about the natural dying process, unless of course you’d rather call me names and accuse me of being an evil murder.
You need to talk to someone who has been through this. Amazing ignorance. My Father died drowning in fluid... but at home like he wanted... he could not eat or drink the last week of his life. The water was pouring off of him and he had difficulty breathing. My Grandfather the same in the last two weeks before he died. How many loved ones have you had to personally up close and personal watch as they pass on?
