Ugh.

In minor complaints, the latest Zabar’s catalog arrived this weekend, taunting me with delicious, unaffordable foods.

You just found out she was terminal a few days ago. That’s not enough time to prepare. I’m so sorry.
(FWIW, I asked about the drugs because they’re prescribed at different stages of treatment of the disease. Tamoxifen – especially at her age – means she was not determined to be at high risk for metastases, or was unable to take the other medications. So, it was probably a nasty shock to her and her onco as well. It means she probably wasn’t holding back relevant info from you. If that helps, at all.)

In the old days - when everyone had paper matches in easy reach - this would have been a 5 minute fix.

It’s every door in our house. I think the builders used particularly crappy wood for the frames.
This one is a sprung hinge, so that’s an extra level of fun. An opportunity to learn something new!

If you have the time, there is stuff sold for wood rot that you can let soak into the wood at the holes that will stiffen/strengthen the wood there.

Seconding @d_r’s recommendation of first using a wood hardener. If you’re still getting tear-out after that, it’s time to move up to a larger, coarse-thread, coated screw—the self-anchoring kind. If that fails, you may have to shim and patch. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that.
