How can I help my mum?

[FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain]

Her dad died on Thursday. She was very close to him, she is trying to organise a funeral (not helped by having to have a postmortem), she is worrying about her mum (chipped humerous on Thursday) and is travelling back and forth between Bournemouth and Cornwall.

She's not sleeping, she is barely eating (she is trying to force herself to eat). I don't know what to do. I'm worried about her having to drive back to Cornwall in the next couple of days - she has had so little sleep it is dangerous, but I know she won't let me go with her and do the driving.

Is there anything I can do other than make cups of tea?

So sorry I would make her meals - if you make them then seh'll feel obliged to eat them. Was he ill for long?

On and off over the last few months - it wasn't completely unexpected. making her meals sounds a good plan - thank you

stock up her cupboards and her freezer with food? Grief is exhausting. Knowing you are there for her will help her, even if she doesn't let you help her.

Sounds awful Flame and so close to Xmas....will she let you help with the funeral arangements at all?

Thankyou for your advice - My sister told her how much I was worrying about the lack of eating, and she has been making an effort and eating more.

She got some sleep on Tues night and is looking sooo much better.
