How to support mum

I feel so bad for my mum. She has a stressful job and another of her colleagues has taken their own life. That is the second in as many years. She is so upset today, it's absolutely heart breaking. She often says that she finds her job extremely stressful and she's mostly run down and tired. I don't know how best to support her, she must be carrying a big emotional burden, it's just so awful for these young people and their poor families, their lives will never be the same again 😔

Just let her talk and listen without trying to comfort her or offer her advice. Listening is the greatest gift you can give her right now.
