Do not try so hard, her body will naturally want food when hungry. It’s actually painful to eat when your body cannot handle food. Any food is fine. Understand this may be the start of a natural process. No threats of jail, just try to enjoy the time mom has left. Contact her doctor and ask if hospice care may be appropriate. I watched my dad go through this, he lost the desire for food as his body was giving out. Home hospice was a huge help to me and him. I wish you and mom both peace

When my bedridden, 89-yr old MIL in LTC facility started to drop weight and not wanting to eat (over the span of 2 months she lost 10 lbs, with no other diagnosis) they put her on hospice. It was about 2 weeks before her heart rated dropped and she passed away. Not saying this is what will happen to your Mom, but you need to call her doctor and maybe discuss hospice as well. It's find to give her anything she will eat. She just needs the calories.
