I think part of it *is* depression, but she won’t admit it. She’s grieving, of course. But she won’t talk about it and I don’t ask. She said that her grandmother and mother got through their losses and she’ll be strong like them. 😢
Hi Teri, For what it's worth a couple ideas come to mind: have her draw or paint - get the pain out of her onto a paper - it can be just scribbles. Or have her tell her life story like into a mike, or typed on the ipad, which could allow some of the grief tout. The grief could be more than the loss of a loved one but also of hearing, purpose, abilities, and life style in addition.
Hi Teri, it is so hard to see a loved one losing interest in life. Is some of that due to depression? - I know it was with my husband.
