How To Treat For Loss Of Appetite?

My mom has refused to eat and only drink sips for the past several weeks. She is in hospice now. Today she asked for coffee and soup. Is alert and trying to talk after a stroke several months ago . They told us she was dying. She has CHF, kidney problems. Diabetic. Has has blood clots. I don't know what thus sudden change is. She has also refused any of her medications the past three weeks. Any insight?

If patient is refuse for food then this is not the indication of any cerebral disease but this could be more psychological condition and this need to be managed accordingly neither this is indication of CHF or stroke, but some how this is due to some functional elements, take care.
