Hi all. Let me Begin by saying that I hate 2020. it's been a very hard year for everyone because my dad passed on December 31st which also happened to be my mom's birthday. so we finally got all the benefits and Social security and insurance taken care of for my mom. But now I'm trying to figure out what to do about potential loneliness. I I'm 31 years old. I visit her at least once a week for meal and some chit chat. But I don't have too much in common. My other brother does live close by as well but he has a wife and the kid on the way and is working at a startup. He apparently doesn't have much time... I have two other sisters one who lives on the west coast who's currently without a job and has some skin cancer. And another sister who lives down in Florida with a family.

I'm trying to find time for myself to be able to do the things that I want to do and grow as a person maybe get a girlfriend or a dog. I work full time and live on my own. The problem isI don't know what I can do for my mom to make sure that she doesn't suffer from loneliness and depression. I can recommend a book or show or movie every once in awhile but she and I just don't have similar tastes and things. And with coronavirus there's no way in hell I'm putting her in a home. Besides she doesn't want to leave her house.

What can I do for her?
