My grandmother had a massive stroke on Monday and 3 mini strokes on tuesday. My family has decided not to give her a feeding tube. How long can the starvation process take and what is the course that will take place?

Starving someone is not humane. You'd show them more humanity by shooting them in the head.
Starvation is a long, miserable death.

If she has had that many strokes, she will not miss the food because her perception is impaired. People without feeding tubes don't starve; they die of dehydration, which leads to kidney failure. This, too, is painless.

Actually modern medicine is the alternative that has become mainstream which subverts the real medicine... Hipocrates said let medicine be your food and food your medicine.... That is the true way which they have turned into just an alternative because they can't get rich with it

it could take forever in some cases.... what can happen is the death crawl. where they drip high doses of morphine into the blood stream when the patient is removed from the machines.

I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROCESS IS BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS..IF WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR GRANDMOTHER EVER HAPPENS TO ME I PRAY MY CHILDREN HAVE THE COURAGE THAT YOUR FAMILY HAS.
