@steemzzang, your post deeply resonated with me. The raw honesty and vulnerability in sharing your experience caring for your mother is incredibly touching. The decline in her appetite is a familiar and heartbreaking challenge for many caregivers.

I especially appreciate your perspective on 요양원 (nursing homes) and the generational differences in perception. Prioritizing your mother's comfort and peace of mind in her own home truly speaks volumes about your dedication. It's wonderful that the 노인장기요양보험 제도 (long-term care insurance system) provides support, allowing you to balance caregiving with your own well-being.

The sentiment of "어린아이 물가에 두고 온 거처럼" is so relatable. Thank you for sharing your story and reminding us of the importance of cherishing these precious moments. Your commitment is inspiring. Have you explored any specific high-calorie supplement drinks or soft foods that might appeal to her? I'm sure others in the community have helpful suggestions!
