Hi everyone

This is my first time on public forum to talk about my parents to death.
My dad passed away in 2017 and my mum on the very same day as my dad s 4th anniversary too!!
It was very emotional for us all especially my sister who still is finding it difficult to accept that our mum has gone. I keep reassuring her that mum has gone and no longer in pain or suffering but is always there with us in our heart and memories.
It is now 4 months and am concerned that my sister hasn’t moved on at all.
I asked her to come stay with me and she said that she needed space and time so I agreed.
She still won’t leave the house for anything other than weekly groceries trip.
Any advice as to how I can help my sister in any way as concerned.
Thank you.

Hi, yes I think you could be right that your sister needs a little help but it may be her way of dealing her grief. One thing I am constantly being told is that I can’t fix everything or everyone. It’s difficult to see into someone’s mind and finding the right thing that would encourage your sister to start and have a different life will not be easy. Perhaps start with a short time away from the house, a special outing that would help both of you to feel good. Yes. thinking outside the box. Best of luck.
