Stage 7 +++?
My DW, after years of going through the stages has entered the last weeks. Has been in home hospice care for 2 months. There was a fall about 10 days ago. Has been bed ridden since then. Just water and orange juice. Very few words and atrophy of the limbs.
Just another new grieving phase.
Thank goodness for daily nurse visits.
