How should I help her?

I have a neighbour that am close with, we go to evening walks and spend time sometimes.

I know she has been having some issues with mother in law and sister in law she’s living with.

Lately I’ve seen her growing very thin and frail. Also during our walking she tripped and fell hurt her nose and asked me not to tell anyone in her family about it.

Not sure how I can help her

Never get involved in anyone else's problems. Tomorrow people will blame you only.
If you do, don't let them know.

@Royricky09 ... but what happens if 'they' blame you, because she is 'unable' ie DEAD

@BigGuy2 being dead is an overkill, but I do understand that might be a possibility if things go south

@Genelia ... if i'm right in suspecting what's happening, she may think to herself:

"The only way out is ..."

@BigGuy2 right but with time she’s kinda adjusted, given she has a son
