My dad died in December and my mum is alone after 50 years of marriage. She is being very strong but obviously she is sad and lonely. I know she has considered ending it all but gave herself a mental kick up the backside because of myself and my two brothers and two sisters.
Whilst we do what we can, I live miles away, I have a sister in Yorkshire, and the others are pretty far too (most of them.)
Either way, it can never make her loss any better (I say her loss as we are all married with kids so it's easier to cope I guess)
She asked the doctor and he prescibed prosac but she looked them up and it said they can give suicidal tendencies.
She ripped up the prescription as, she feels if the thoughts have been there, they may subconciously still be and the medication could push her over the edge.
Is there anything herbal or natural, does anyone know, please?
