My mom is sad, what do I do?

Question

My mom told me today she feels lonely all the time. 
My sister and I are still in hs. We, including my mom and dad, all still live in the same house. 

She was crying while cleaning the bathroom. I walked in and she finally told me she feels lonely and it is like she has no purpose. She said she just doesn't know what to do with herself.

I don't know how to help her. I told her that we'd play a game together, but she went off to type something to my dad, I think. I bathed the dog and when I passed by she was still crying.

I don't know what to do. My sister's at work and my dad went on a trip for work.

We're kind of low in money right now. And I think she and my dad have been getting more tense with each other. I keep waiting for another blow up between them. 

I just don't know. She said she should probably go see somebody. I'm just worried about that making her even worse because of having to pay for a therapist, and right now we don't have a lot of free money to spend. 

I mean, I have a job now and so does my sister, so I feel better not having to ask for money all the time. 

Anyway, that's off topic.

What do I do?

It makes me sad. And I feel helpless. And terrible because part of me doesn't know want to know that she's sad, part of me wants to run away, because a large part of me doesn't know what to do. I don't know how to help. I don't know what to do. 

I don't know how to make things better.

Sometimes in long relationships people lose site of their own interests and once had goals in life. It sounds like your moms social needs for friends and purpose is lacking.  It also sounds like she could really use a hormone profile and check up done, expecially if she is between 37 and 50. Perimenopausal or menopausal. 
I am not saying this is why she feels lonely and without purpose  I am saying it would be helpful for her to find a hormone replacement doctor and get properly tested. 
Now, I am going to give you a freebie that is priceless.  The guy who developed this healing method wanted the free version to be available to anyone at anytime.

Please give this to your mom ,and suggest they splurge and see a HRT hormone replacement doctor as well.

I'm in the exact same situation as you. my mom is going through depression and also states that she's lonely. Sometimes i see her crying also. When someone is like that you can't really do much except be there for her. Ask her if she wants to talk about what's really going on. What i did was, ask my mom to do stuff with me so it would ease her mind. For example, since you have a dog, ask her to go with you for a dog walk. Or ask to watch a movie with her, or putting music while you both clean will bright up the situation. If you pray, say a prayer for her each day so that she would get better. Prayers are more powerful than anyone can imagine.

Good luck and I hope your mom feels better.
God bless.

Hello Fakeless.
You're a great daughter. It would be nice if all people cared about their parents, as you do.

Today is sunday, why don't you go with your mom to church? there she will find that she is not alone, God is there by her side all the time, protecting her .

I hope you listen to my advice.
take care. You deserve the best....
