She should talk to an elder-care attorney.

She chose to stop eating and drinking. Her original plan was to come up here to Oregon and do medical assisted suicide, but a) no doctor would state she had less than six months to live and b) she was unable to take the pill herself.

Anyhow, be careful how you are involved in this situation - there are legal ramifications if you supply a drug for that purpose.

I will have nothing directly to do.

I am so sorry your friend and you are going through this. You might want to check if there is a "death with dignity" group in your area.

A friend in the medical profession told me years ago that overdosing on some meds, including aspirin, is not painless.

There are videos on YouTube. Death with Dignity is legal in 14 states with different requirements in each state. If anything, the videos may help with information and someone to call for a specific state

Absolutely heartbreaking. I have known several people who chose to take their lives, either because of crippling depression or medical issues for which there is no cure.

When some of my dogs were suffering in their senior years, we were able to do the compassionate thing to end their suffering. It's a sad commentary on our country that we cannot offer the same grace and benevolence to people who are likewise suffering.

Peace and well wishes to you and your friend, 3Hotdogs. You are in my thoughts.
