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

It can vary. How far along is the renal failure, hard to say exactly. A person can last for weeks without food, but will only have 2-4 days to live if they no longer take liquids. My dad hung on for several weeks with renal failure, and a greatly diminished appetite. But once he was in a coma, he was gone in about 48 hours.
