What should i do? What should my parents do?!


Question:

What should i do? What should my parents do?

My Brother passed away in December. My sister decided she wanted to keep his bed (creepy, I know) and now she won’t sleep in her room. She insists on sleeping on the couch or on the floor in my parents’ room. She is 18 years old and I think this is getting out of hand. What can I do? What should my parents do? I know she is morning but her behavior is getting out of hand.


Answers:

My first instinct was to say that she and your family probably need some counselling from a counsellor or minister. But as I reread your discription, I wonder if you are not over-reacting. At least based on the discription included her behavior does not seem to be disruptive or detrimental to herself or anyone else. Perhaps just some more time.

If she is withdrawing (avoiding social contacts) or has other behavioral issues like sleep distrubance, appetitie change, etc. she may be depressed. Then she definitely should get help.
