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

Ask if she has anything that is stressing her out

... also:

"Why don't you want your family to know"

Observe her reply and pick up on her non-verbal responses, as in a 'look of fear' at your suggestion

@dale74 yeah I ask about it and guess she looks so skinny because of mental stress. But doesn’t seem to be anything in particular

@BigGuy2 yeah it was something like his husband questions 100 things about it
