Helping a bereavement

My mum lost her mum to cancer this year and is really struggling , I'm not the best at helping and never know what to say,, I'm worried she is gonna do something. She was talking to a counselor but I am unsure if she still is. I'm thinking off dropping my hours at work to help more. What else can I do please I'm really struggling.

Thank you 

  • Hello KMT24

    I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your Grandmother earlier this year and that your Mum is struggling with her grief. 

    I'm unsure from your post if you've spoken to your Mum about your concerns. People are often worried about saying the wrong thing but from your post I think it's important that you talk to your Mum about your concerns. It may be that she is still getting support from the counsellor but without asking you won't know. 
    There's some really helpful information on the Cruse website about supporting someone who is grieving. I've linked it for you here

    I'm sure that your Mum will be grateful to know that you are there to support her. 

    Best wishes,
