More details to this question:
My father died 10/31/13 from Stage 4 lung cancer. During his last 4 days of life, he was in Hospice care and was not being given any water or food as he was in a comatose state and the nursing staff was just making him comfortable. When this woman and her family came to visit, I tried to explain this to her. Her and her family kept insisting that we give him fluids and nourishment. Her mother even went so far as to tell the Nursing staff at Hospice to discontinue his medication.
