So my mom has been depressed ever since my grandmother (her mom) passed away in a car accident six years ago. She literally does nothing but work. She never even acknowledges me anymore. I want to be closer to her but I don't know how. I just want her to be happy, I can barely look at her without crying. She so sad.

How old are you ? Do you still live at home? How old is your mom ? What else did she use to do after work ?

I'm twenty. So it started when I was 13 or 14. She's 43. Yeah I live at home still. And she used to go out with friends and to the movies and stuff a lot. An she had a garden. Now the house is mess her garden is dead... And she never goes out. She works third shift too which I don't think helps.

Try sitting down talking to her and tell her she can talk to you whenever she feels down, and maybe persuade her to see a doctor or mayb you could tell your doctor?

Let your actions speak... Show her you understand and that you are really sad about her being that way. Maybe you should take her out of her daily routine and suggest a vacation together or a day trip somewhere. It will get you guys closer. Once you n her start talking about things you could suggest that it might be good for her to go seek help. Make sure you tell her you will fully support her with it. Hope things get better!
