Mother is feeling rundown, How do I help?

    Hi this is my first time contributing to this forum.
    My mother has been through a lot lately, she separated from my Dad in the last year, I've moved out to my own place and she's retired recently and now she's moving to her new house to relax.

    The thing is she was supposed to move into her new house a while back and I thought she would be happy, then she told me the other day that she was extremely stressed with the move and that she was run down a lot because of going back and forth sorting everything out.

    Somehow I think it's something deeper, like maybe shes really alone for the first time and that with the combination of leaving all of her friends in work and separating and moving to a new house and trying to make friends at her age is probably too much to bear.

    Does anyone have any advice on how I can help her, I visit once a week, but there is only so much I can say and do to make her feel better and listen too.
    Does she need to talk to a therapist or somebody who can help her deal with whatevers really bothering her and give advice
    (sorry about the long post)
    any advice would be most welcome.
