Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. You were under stress for a while due to two deaths in your family. But I don't think those stress triggering incidents have anything to do with your low weight. In fact, stress increases weight because of the work carried out by stress related hormones.

In your case, you should check your Body Mass Index (BMI). Worrying about your low weight may further deplete your weight. Instead, be happy, don't stress yourself about your low weight and laugh always. These three has a positive effect on weight. You may consult a dietitian for weight gain diet.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
