I'm sorry for your painful loss, that is terrible. Recently, I just experienced a similar thing. My Aunt succumbed to Alzheimer's a couple days ago. She had been in hospice care, without any food or water, for two entire weeks. In her case, she had morphine and atropine to keep her comfortable, and I wonder if the lessened distressed contributed to the longer than usual survival time. According to the doctor, a history of excercise and healthy eating might also have been a factor. I had never imagined someone would survive that long in that state.
