My mother lost his father this Monday. And she is not taking it well. First day..she didn't cry at all. She was singing and was in complete denial. As the funeral was in a small town.. people there are not very educated about mental health. All of them got scared. They gave my mom a sleeping pill. Next day we reached there. She woke up the morning and she cried. She cried a lot after hugging me. We thought that she's all right now. But she started making up stories like her father told her that these people are taking him but he'll be standing right outside and will wait for her.  We tried to convince her a lot but she didn't listen to anyone. So we took her back to Delhi. It was a 8 hour drive and the most difficult one of my life. She didn't eat anything.
Back at home we consult our family doctor. He recommended an anti anxiety pill after which my mom slept. 
Next day she accepted the loss for few hours but not completely. After some time.. she again started talking strange things like my grandfather is still in her lap and she have to make tea for him etc. Etc. We tried a lot to convince her but she's not listening to anyone. We gave her one more pill and she slept again. Then she woke up in the evening, took a bath herself, ate something on her own. Cried and slept again. At night she again had a episode after which she slept. 
It's Thursday now.. and she's been sleeping. 
She woke up in the morning for an hour ..cried and sleep. 
I feel so helpless. I don't know what to do. Our family doctor says that we should not see a psychiatrist as he'll just recommend sedatives which won't help. And mom will have to overcome in her own.
I'm sorry for writing so much. But please help. I can't see my mom like this. Its been 4 days. She's crying or sleeping or having one of those episodes. Her eyes are swelled up. I'm very scared.
