I need some child/adult relationship advice. Me and my mother.

My mom lost her husband, my step dad, in April. She is currently still living in the house he died in and hasn’t really tried to do anything besides helping my grandparents and babysitting my nephew. How can I help her? How can I help her find something to do without making it seem like she has to do it.

Ask her for familiar help. The babysitting is a good example. Did she used to bake before? help in a garden? She will not be actively looking. She is a deer in the headlights now. But offering her the familiar will help her find her feet.😷
