http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid_life_crisis
I believe that my boyfriend's mom is suffering a Mid Life Crisis. She has all the "symptoms" in the above article. She has suffered the loss of her daughter and mother in the same year, my boyfriend is on the verge of turning 21, she's been drinking (she never used to), she's been very concerend with going to the gym and her apperance, she feels out of love with her husband, and she is constantly shopping for new things (like out of nowhere she just had to have a new vehicle).
Other than counseling, which she is already going to, what are some ways to help her out and get her life back to normal? Her family only wants her to be happy, they want her to realize that discovering herself doesn't mean that she has to lose them and all the other things that have already made her happy for so long.
Have you ever experienced this, or been close to someone that has? What are good ways to help her and support her to get her through this?
