My Gran had dementia a couple of years back and then quite a serious stroke that we were told she would never recover from. She survived the stroke but as far as I can understand she was then left off medication and couldn't feed herself and the doctors chose not to feed her. A lot of this went a bit unspoken in our family, but as far as I can tell they just let her go by natural causes. Seemed a very drawn out prolonged process though. Over a week in hospital. We were told she would know nothing about it as she wasn't properly concious any more. Seems a bit barbaric still though that that's the process that has to take place as the alternatives that would shorten that process are illegal in this country.
