Hi! Six months ago mother of my girlfriend died. I was there for her, shoulder for crying and her support. But my girlfriend changed a lot. She even mentioned me something about suicide. I understand my girlfriend's grief, but I can’t help her to deal with her grief. How to help her?

Hi! This is difficult for her and for you. You should take very serious her thoughts about suicide. She probably needs professional help. You should talk with her about that. She probably is depressed, and this is one stage of grief. Time for grief is individual. Maybe she need sometime to accept a loss and forgive.
