Cheer up Mum

My mum is feeling very depressed recently

She's thinking about my Dad, her 3 late brother's that passed on in 3 consecutive years and now I found out one my aunts ie mums sister has a bit a concerning medical condition

I wish I could do something to cheer her up.
I spoke to her and hugged and gave her moral support but I would like to do something for her.

I'm sure your mom believes you being there to hug her is more than enough.
I'm a mom,it be enough for me.
Maybe it would be helpful to try to not help her to cheer up?
Just be there for her until those emotions pass?
Moral support is a big help.

@Justmeraeagain
That's exactly what I did and I even told her.
I guess I learnt the hard way about the human mind. At this point I don't want her to think and aggravate a health situation unknowingly

Thank you so much for your kind words 🤗
