This breaks my heart. Doubly so, given that I have similar cases[1] in recent memory[2] where the medical staff and even the even parents were forbade and forcibly prevented from feeding the kids.
Thank you for writing the article, Janet, however painful it must have been for you. It's better that we know, and can act upon the knowledge.

This is untrue, and the cases are not even remotely comparable to OP's story. Alfie Evans and Charlie Gard had both suffered heavy brain damage and were incapable of feeding or even continuously breathing on their own, with no realistic perspective of improvement.
