Beravement
9 Answers
Not sure if this is in the correct section. My father passed away 18 months ago and my mother isn't coming to terms with the loss. She is trying, by going to little afternoon clubs etc and trying to make friends, however, she is slowly slipping further into despair and is talking about ending her life. She will only talk to me, which is fine, however, I'm not a professional & I'm also still grieving, although coping better than my mother. I am worried beyond words. I'm trying to locate bereavement counselling groups in our area. She's already on medication for depression but I don't know what I can do to help her and I know it's only a matter of time before she herself harm. Thanks in advance for any advise.

(usually) I am going to phone her GP in the morning to seek advise and I have looked on the internet for counsellors, but it's a bit confusing, so yes, I will look at cruse. I have told her that there is no set time and it's not unusual to experience grief for a very long time, however, as I said earlier, I am no expert and am just saying what I think is right. I still weep everyday myself. I am an only child and have no one to talk to myself, and mom's grief, despair and now talk of ending her life is having a knock on affect on me, I don't want to lose her too, I just need to get her some help before it's too late.
