I have seen this when I worked as a carer in an old folks' home. One old lady had a visit from each of her three children (one lived abroad) and then simply stopped eating and faded away. Perhaps that is not a very comforting thing to say, but perhaps momwolf knows what's best?
All I can say is that I know how hard it is to watch your parent suffer knowing you can do nothing to help. I wish you and your sister the strength to get through this. Lean on your friends.
