We lost my dad 2 months ago, it all happened quite fast. My mum has completely lost herself and I don't know how to help her. I'm finding myself losing my patience with her because she isn't helping herself. She won't eat unless she's with someone, she's losing a lot of weight and I'm worried. I'm due to give birth in less than 3 weeks and I won't be able to check in everyday like I do now. Has anyone got any advice?

Hi Louise274933
Sorry to hear about your dad and your very understandable concerns about your mum. I wonder if there is anyone else who might be able to look in on your mum while you have her grandchild. I might hope that might help to pick her up a bit and you might be able to get her involved there and that might give her the lift she needs.
I wonder if it might be worth ringing the helpline here and see if they have any ideas - 0808 808 0000 - it is open from 8am to 8pm.
<<hugs>>
Steve
