Lack of appetite obviously explains the weight loss. I’d ask to be sent to a GI specialist and rule out cancers of Colon, Pancreas, Gall Bladder, stomach, etc.
There are a lot of things that could cause weight loss but it’s a common symptom of many cancers so I’d rule it out first.

Hang in there. I would suggest taking an unplug from everything for a long weekend. Reflect on the past and the future. It will really set your priorities straight for you.
Right when my dad died I had taken huge step up in the corporate world. (I’m 51 btw). It wasn’t three weeks after I took the job (about 2 months after his passing) that it just blindsided me - this shite just isn’t that important. Life is just way too short. Take care of you, your family etc first. The other stuff, while you need it to live and pay rent, just isn’t that important man.
After that aha moment my outlook on life and things in general is just totally different.
But it sounds like you need a reset for a few days. Might be tough but find that aha moment somewhere.

Get tested by a doctor. I used to laugh any my high blood pressure because I was active and felt good.
Currently I'm posting from a chair next to a machine that takes all my blood out and cleans it and puts it back in 4 times in 4 hours.
I wish i regularly went to the doctor.

Update: this poster summed it up pretty good.
Went out to eat in Hammond (Thai Green Leaf- hidden gem)… was leaving and homeless lady sitting there. I asked if she was hungry, she said yes, I went in, bought her some food, dr pepper, a few waters
Riding back with my son , who asked why I did that etc.- I thought …WTF am I complaining about. Good job(we always want to make more right?), healthy kids, wonderful wife, nice house, etc….
Maybe I’m not rich(and never will be). But just had to put things in perspective.
Although I will say, been thinking of my dad a lot lately, and maybe just beginning to really grieve? Kind of strange after almost 2 years, but idk…
Oh yea.. and prayer, and reading the word.
All good man!

Losing a loved one can be very stressful.
After I lost my Mother to cancer, I experience lots of different emotions I never thought possible in my life.
I lost a lot weight and people thought I was sick or something.
Every time you think of ole dear Dad, smile and thank God he was your father.
Know that he is proud of you and is smiling down from heaven.

I’m no expert, but in situations like this the first thing you should do is start living right. That means…
- Eat nothing but organic foods. Eliminate ultra-processed foods from your diet.
- Make sure you are getting plenty of fiber and protein every day.
- Drink nothing but water and plenty of it.
- Take a multi-vitamin and make sure you are getting Vitamin D.
- Get three hours of aerobic exercise per week. Once per week, get out there and push your heart rate to near maximum for 3 to 4 minutes. Do that four times with 4 minutes of rest in between.
- Floss your teeth every night (this is extremely important, it will add years to your life)
- Go to bed at the same time every night and early enough to allow yourself 8 hours of sleep if you can get it.
Do this for two months. If it works do it for the rest of your life.

My dad passed away 19.5 years ago.
On the day of his passing, he been at my house holding his newborn grand-daughter, (who was 5 months old at the time) then he went home, had a heart attack, and was gone. He was 63. Came out of nowhere.
I struggled with grief for several months before a friend of mine gave me some good advice that he had been told when his father passed away. He told me, "you'll never get OVER the grief, but you'll learn how to live with it".
I took that to heart and tried to learn how to live with it. Now, I look forward to the times when I am reminded of him during the day. I look at those memories less as grief, and more as reminders of how fortunate I was to have him in my life and as a reminder of where I come from.
When I started to embrace those feelings of loss, as opposed to suppressing them, it helped me view them as positives and less as negatives.
I feel his loss every day, but I use those feelings to give me a boost and to reinforce my feelings of thankfulness for having had him in my life.

Similar story - my father passed 3 days after his 64th birthday, and 1 day after my son’s birthday. Last time I saw him was at my sons party… last words to him was “the only thing that matters is your word..”
This was I response to some stupid stuff teenage boys were doing g together, which caused him to have to go knock o a neighbors door and apologize…

Glad I could help in some small way. Just keep it simple man. I can promise you you’ll stress about money whether you are making $50k or $500k. I promise.
Stay focused on what’s important and what truly really matters. The majority of the shite these days, just doesn’t matter.

Post title made me wonder if you're taking a chromium supplement. Those can be surprisingly powerful. You may find chromium helpful, but be aware that it will affect your judgment.

Wonderful words. Every grieving person should read that.
