Seeing a Councellor

Thanks for your comments and what you say is so true. Plus, my mom does need some time to grieve herself as she stayed strong for everyone else during my grandfather's passing and pretty much everything else that has happened in her life too (that is my mom tho - being the eldest daughter of 6 kids) and always looking after everyone else..

I am going to respect her wishes and offer my shoulder - as I hope my mom already knows I support her but maybe writing her a nice letter will be a good idea too so that she knows I am here for her. The points you both made that problems with people/things are seemingly more 'bigger' when you're depressed was quite impactual. I suffer from this as well and am working on it.

It is a tricky situation and I have to be strong myself. My mom actually phoned me today for the first time in almost a month. Altho she acted like everything was all hunky dory and fine like nothing ever happened which kinda ruffled my feathers but I didn't say anything and we had a nice conversation.

She is sending me email jokes again so maybe things are looking up for her too. I sure hope so. Thanks for your very kind words Debbie and Redhead. I will keep you posted
