Hi.
So this is going to be an odd one. My dad died two years ago because of the side effects of cancer. He died in the peak pandemic.
Since he died mum has not being able to cope. She has run herself down to the ground. Dad was her carer and they were never apart. Even after two years she is not coping, he may aswell as died yesterday. The house has turned to ruin, she won't cook or clean. She won't bath herself because she doesn't feel safe without him. She is barely going out at all. She just won't help herself. I have tried to get her to go out but she says she can't.
The trouble is she only wants him, no one else can help her. She keeps saying he "wanted to get away from her"
She has taken multiple overdoses in the last two years, she is also engaging in risky behaviour and meeting men on a dating app. Both men She has dated have been very abusive, one r'd her, the other pushed her fracturing her arm rendering her more incapable.
She is crying all the time and her world is falling apart around her. People are trying to get her help, but they say she is capacitated so there is only so much she can do. She has accepted a personal assistant and carers, she has also accepted to go on the assisted living list. The trouble is it is all very slow, and she seems to be getting worse and worse. The list for housing is so long, they said they can put it through in an emergency but I don't know if they will with her.
I don't know what more to do for her.
