What Are Some Tips For Helping My Mom Eat?
My mom has lost 6 pounds in the last month. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to feed her. She won't open her mouth. When she does and I get food in there, she puts it in her cheek. I give her frequent reminders and try to show her what to do (ie. open your mouth, chew your food, push the food to the back of your mouth, etc).I know a feeding tube is an option, but I'm not sure we're at that point yet. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions of things to try?

When I ask her about it, she swears she didn't say that. Seems like I can't do anything right, when I get her breakfast, lunch and dinner, give her the meds, wash her clothes, fix her tv (a million times a day),.... it's exhausting and hurts when I feel like she's talking bad about me to others.
