Hi Maynard, i understand what you are going through. do some searches on my posts.
I have been feeding my wife via tube for 8 years now. my wife hasn't moved or spoken or eaten orally since around 1997. she lost her ability to eat anything more than a bit of yogurt each day around 1999.
Being my wife I am able to have been there for all her care 24/7.
Being your mother hospice care will probably work well for her. But a feeding tube or “PEG” is what will happen if she loses her ability to eat orally. You are then fed via liquid foods which normally the public hospital can arrange for from their dieticians.
I don’t know where you live or what community support there is so I can’t help you there but I am sure you could find out via your local hospital what community care to call and go from there to get all the help you will be needing.
I doubt Dr wahls diet will help as i have yet to find anything that will help my wife.
