Dear 'Patient's Caregiver', She is Grieving and so it will take some time and sometimes it may take upto a year or more to recover from the initial shock in this situation. Be patient with her. Just be there for her physically present around her as much as possible. Her loss is of a spouse which is one of the toughest losses in life. The shock of having lost him will put her through denial of the event too because covid situations are tough on especially those who witnessed situations at the hospital and by being around patients. What she needs might be more of an emotional support and someone to hear her out. She will be upset and depressed too but as time passes she will recover slowly out of it. With Regards, Nisha James
Next Steps
Please stick around her, give her company and watch if there are any different symptoms   or behavior. if there is something you dont understand as a behavior or symptom then get help from a Counselling Psychologist.

Hi.... She will require grief counselling to deal with this loss. Also, being a person who faced depression earlier, she is more susceptible to relapse. Please find a good Psychologist and if medication is required, a good Psychiatrist as well to help her overcome this loss and carry on with her life.
