Watched my grandfather pass in the same way. Didn’t seem right to let him pass of basically lack of food and hydration after 95 years even though also terminal. I just wanted to see him comfortable and he was far from it.

In the last days when organs start failing, food and drink don’t necessarily make things more comfortable since the body can’t handle it.

Same here, but i have been told that dying is like that unless thoroughly drugged.
