What Causes Excessive Weight Loss?

I have lost quite a bt of weight over the last year. Not intentionally, it just fell off. I m down to 88 lbs. I feel fine, no weakness, energy the same and I had a minor eye surgery done 2 weeks ago with lab work completed that found nothing unusual in my blood work. I have had several family deaths that have caused a certain amount of depression with no appetite but i ve tried to eat at least two meals a day with a snack. What should I do?
