My girlfriend won't talk to me because her mom is sick. What should I do?

[mrArcher]

My girlfriend's mom got a positive Covid test and now she told me she's not in the mood for chitchat because she wants to take care of her. I don't want to stress her out even more but it's getting to me. Badly. And I don't know what to do.

Give her the space that she is asking for but let her know you’re there if she needs help at all. Also just to make this situation seem a little less dark. Do something to brighten up her day. Like sending her a care package ot some of her fav. Things

Tell her that you are there to talk with her, run errands for her, whatever she might need (if that is the nature of your relationship). Give her some space. She is just as scared and confused as YOU are, probably MORE so.

If she DOES want to talk with you, just listen! Do NOT assume, do NOT judge. Just knowing that you are there for her is about the best thing- along with praying- that you can do.

Be patient and try understanding what she might be going through.
Now isn’t the time to be selfish.

Give her space.
