my mother is 92, diabetic since age 76, I believe she is in the 7th. stage of vascular dementia--she has not been able to walk since Feb, 2010 and she can hardly transfer, she cannot feed herself, except to barly hang on to a small glass of milk and drink it. she has trouble swallowing her food. sometimes, she does not know what to do with the food ie chew, swallow etc. She says she is not hungry. Mom is in a very good adult family home, as I could not take care of her, I cared for her for 2 1/2 years in our home.

My question is how long will my Mother suffer like this? She has told me that she wants to die and I ask her why? She said she is tired of all this!
