accolade answered Friday July 16 2004, 1:59 pm: you've gotta give her time to get over their deaths. 3 people from her family.... people she's known since she was born... it's got to be really hard for her.
then again, if it HAS been a while, you need to help her. start by making her some breakfast or something, taking HER out for coffee, even asking her to play an old family board game with you. Something that will really let her know you care and are worried about her.

BlueEyedBlondie725 answered Friday July 16 2004, 12:55 pm: Hey! Aww I'm sorry to hear that. Sometimes when someone loses someone, they just need time to sleep or time alone. But, I was the opposite when I lost my grandma's, I had to be out doing something. Maybe, you should try talking to her about it. She may need someone to talk to, to get her feelings out. And I agree with that one person, she may be taking sleeping pills or something, go to another adult for that and tell them, so you guys can help her. But, I would tell your mom you want to go somewhere, like out to eat, or the mall, and sit her down/walk and just talk to her about whats going on. Just be like "Mom, I really miss hangingo out with you, you're always sleeping and I'm really worrying about you, I just want to talk to you and hang out with you" And then when you guys are talking to be like "Do you need to talk about it? Because I'll listen." And just help her through it, because sometimes when people lose someone, they just need to talk about it and get it off there chest to make them feel better. That may be the case, but I don't know. Thats can be you job to find out whats up with her and just guide her through this and listen to her. Good luck. I hope it helps!
sxyxbabii answered Friday July 16 2004, 12:51 am: well, how about you just tell her that you really miss spending time with her and ask her if she can arrange time so you two can hang out and do girl things.. go get your nails done or something. comfort her and just let her know its okay to live her life normally without having to just be all upset all the time [ sxyxbabii's advice column | Ask sxyxbabii A Question ]
Lizzy answered Friday July 16 2004, 12:31 am: Let her know that you care about her, and that you won't be leaving her anytime soon, Just make sure she knows that you love her a lot. Also, spend time with her, ask her to go to a movie or something

marksbitch answered Thursday July 15 2004, 10:43 pm: My mom went through this when my parents divorced. Is she on sleeping pills? Is she taking Valium? Is she drinking? If any of these are true, all you can do is speak to an adult such as another aunt or uncle. If she is only up 2 hours a day, she needs some sort of professional help. Depression can lead to serious dangers, the best thing you can do is be there for her and allow a professional to help. [ marksbitch's advice column | Ask marksbitch A Question ]

Mackenzie answered Thursday July 15 2004, 10:32 pm: Aww. Well I'm sorrie to hear that. It would be wonderful if you made your Mom dinner, but make sure to clean the dishes, and try not to make it mac and cheese. How about the Botanical Gardens? Aww, that'd be cute!! There's also art museums! And you guys could have a picnic in the park and feed the duckies! Try bowling, and swimming. Classical concerts could be nice. And starting a family game night could be nice, and it's not costly, which is always a plus. Just let her know you're always there for her, and although she's lost so much.. she has never lost them for good, and she'll always have you too. I'm sorrie I can't help you any further. I suppose I've never been in a situation like this. I do hope things go well. Goodluck, and take care!! [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
MissJ1414 answered Thursday July 15 2004, 10:24 pm: Well give her a little while longer she'll evntually come back around. Looseing someone it painful and she's lost 3 ppl. But her pain will ease up some. Just do what you can for her while she's feeling sorrowful. Then when you see her starting to act like her old sef be like 'hey mom would you like to go to lunch today?'
