The reason for the loss of appetite is deeply related to the mechanism of the body in the terminal stage. If you know how the body works, it will change the way you interact with patients who "can't eat". Also, when you can't eat, you may be concerned about "remaining life expectancy". There are three points to keep in mind when thinking about life expectancy. I will explain what family members can do, including stories of patients and their families that I have worked with in the past, so I hope you will find this useful.
