Aswathi

I’m sorry to hear of your dad’s passing.

I’m also sorry to hear of the heavy burden you feel from your mom’s unhappiness. It does put a lot of stress on you, which isn’t fair.

Does your mom have hobbies? Or maybe suggest some type of activity…like yoga, or if she enjoys crafts she can’t join groups.

She is obviously in a slump and it’s not good for her or you. …and will put a strain on your relationship. ..which you don’t want. Everyone deals with death differently and everyone has their own time to heal..are you able to talk to her about joining groups? I feel as though she doesn’t have enough to keep her busy and her mind is racing and misses the company of your dad when she sees other people enjoying life and it’s like a self torchure she is doing, but it’s also hurting you.
