on or before the day preceding the scheduled end date for caregiver leave, there are reasons specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as to why the worker comes to cease caregiving of the applicable family member subject to an application for caregiver leave, such as the death of the applicable family member; or
