I'm sorry for your mother.
Right before my mother died, it seemed she knew she was dying. She insisted that I made it possible for her to spend the day with her parents.
Four days later, she passed.
When someone knows that they are about to die. They want memories they had. Say they quit smoking for 30 years ago and one day they stop at a store and buy a pack. Go sit in lawn chair, with a beer, light up that cigarette and pass away in peace.
So let her have her McDonald's.

@HumanEarth Yeah If someone is older and will soon be gone anyways, might as well let them enjoy what they want while they still can.
At that stage it is more about making them as comfortable as possible rather than trying to delay the inevitable for a few more days or weeks.
