Losing a spouse is one of the hardest things that someone can go through. If your mom is grieving the loss of her spouse, you may wondering how you can help her. Grief affects everyone differently, so your mom\u2019s grief journey will be unique to her. There\u2019s no way to put a clock on grief.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s hard to watch your mom struggle. You may be worried about her becoming lonely or depressed, especially if she\u2019s aging in place and is now living alone in a house filled with memories. You can\u2019t help your mom go through the process of grieving, but you can give her some support to make the process a little easier for her. Some things you can do to support your mom during this difficult time are:<\/p>\n

Bring in Companion Care At Home<\/h3>\n

Your mom is probably feeling emotionally raw right now, and it\u2019s a hard time for her to put in the work to connect with other people and make friends. But she needs a friend. Companion care at home<\/a> is specialty care for seniors who are at risk of becoming isolated. A caregiver will come to your mom\u2019s house and hang out with her.<\/p>\n

A companion is someone who will visit on a regular schedule, help your mom with things around the house, and encourage her to eat healthy meals by sharing meals with her. A companion will also be there to listen to your mom, have conversations with her, and do activities like play games or do puzzles.<\/p>\n

Talk About Her Spouse<\/h3>\n

Often when someone in the family dies the other family members aren\u2019t sure if they should talk about that person or not. They don\u2019t want to bring up painful memories. But more often than not talking about the person who is gone is exactly what their spouse needs. Talk to your mom about the spouse they lost. Ask about her favorite memories. Talking about her spouse may provide a lot of comfort and help your mom grieve.<\/p>\n

Ask Her What She Needs<\/h3>\n

The best way to support your mom is to ask her what she needs, then do exactly what she says. If she says that she needs help around the house call a local care agency to get companion care at home or a home care provider who can help her. If she can\u2019t face going out to do errands or shop have groceries delivered. Let her take the lead and tell you what she needs. Then do what she asks, no questions asked.<\/p>\n

Call Daily To Check On Her<\/h3>\n

You\u2019d be amazed at how much a quick daily phone call can mean to your mom. Call at the same time of the day, every day, and just check on her. A fast five-minute call is a small thing that will mean the world to her. It will let her know that you care about her and support her. She will look forward to those calls, and they can help her feel less isolated and lonely.<\/p>\n
