My mum won’t move on after dad’s death
Saturday, 25 October 2008
Dear Virginia,
How can I help my mother? My father died four years ago, and she refuses to
look for anyone new, saying no one can replace him. She’s only in her
fifties, but won’t consider training for a career. She has sold her flat and
now rents, has no pension, and I am desperately concerned about her future.
She seems happy enough, but does nothing all day. I’m 34, single and work as
a tour guide, and every time I leave the country I’m sick with worry.
Yours sincerely, Elsa
