Let it be

She still isn’t eating and probably won’t now, ever. He says it doesn’t mean that she wants to die, but I am not so sure. Perhaps she isn’t articulating it as such to herself, but her body clearly does not want nourishment. She told him not to nag her about it. Let her be, let it be, even if it is hard to do so. She either cannot or does not want to eat. Let it be. Let it be.
