I feel helpless when it comes to assisting a neighbor of mine to socialize and even to walk outdside,or to eat dinner, or answer her phone.She is a wonderful and haunted woman who has had a life of sorrow and regrets, including health problems and the untimely loss of a child and husband.Her twin sister committed suicide and I am afraid that she could hurt herself, as well. She just shuts out the whole world and just sleeps in the darkness of her house, she won't leave to even buy herself toiletpaper or buy food for her cat. I need to know what, if anything, I may be able to do to get some professional assistance to her. I know that she would never go on her own, and this makes me feel even more helpless from protecting her from herself. She is 65 years old with a grandchild on the way next month. Help?
