When an elderly person stops eating how much longer until they pass away?
My husbands grandfather has renal failure. He has stopped eating. The nurse said he ate a little oatmeal yesterday and thats it. They also have him on constant morphine for the pain.
The reason why I am asking is that we have a trip to visit my grandparents planned on Wednesday. I do not want to go on the trip if he is going to pass away during our trip.
Thanks
