writes:Hi Aunts and Uncles,Just need some advice on how to help my mum. She suffered with depression, had medication and seemed to get out of it. Just recently she seemed to have slipped back into the depression.She's having trouble at work as they've said she's going for disciplinary first warning for doing her job (its not her fault for the disciplinary, in my opinion, the workplace is ridiculous). My dad just rang me (he's away at the moment) and said my Mum just rang him in tears about work, that it's awful. Dad asked me to be home to make sure Mum is ok. I'm nervous about her coming home and being upset as I don't know what to say to her. I know it's bad of me, as her daughter, but I'm not very good at these sorts of things....Is there anything anyone can suggest that I can do to help??

 Just be there, be supportive, start dinner before she gets home, be welcoming, and let her know that although you can't doing anything about the situation, you are there to listen if she needs it!!
Chin up!

:)31215 is verified as being by the original poster of the question Thanks. She came in late last night and she chatted. I tried to offer help if I could but I don't understand her job!
Gave her a cuddle anyway :)

Personally, I'd say if she wants to talk about it just listen, be supportive as you can and if you can offer help then do. If nothing else give her a hug- thats support in itself and shows her that your there for her. Remember the old saying- actions speak louder than words :)
Good luck!
