Dear Queenie,
My grandmother passed away recently after years of illness. My mother, who is retired, was the one who took care of her, a full-time job.
Now I’m worried about my mother. In addition to grieving for her mother, she gave up everything else to look after her and now she has nothing to do and nowhere to turn.
Queenie, what do you suggest?—Worried son
Dear Son,
Your mother may need some time to mourn the passing of her mother. However, you can help her get back in touch with old friends and social activities as she becomes ready for them.
You can also contact senior citizens’ groups, the White and Yellow Cross Care Foundation and other service organisations for help and suggestions.
