hospice drugs and limited food intake

[Tawanda]

My mom is down to drinking just one boost a day...sipping it slowly throughout the day. Does anyone know how long she can survive like this? She also had a half of a rootbeer today since she was craving that. But, no other liquids. She can barely swallow and is very weak. Also, meeting with hospice tomorrow but wondering what experience others have with anxiety reducing type drugs during these last few days or weeks? She only cat naps and hasn't truly slept in over a year since her mind seems to always be "going." So she would love help with that as well. Just trying to help make the end as peaceful as we can for her. Any advice would be great. Thank you

That's barely above a starvation diet.

I assume she's refused a feeding tube?

Our hospice gives Lorazepam for anxiety and Morphine. I am sure both of these would be very helpful at this point.
