Last night I saw Bobbi Kristina Houston on TV. She spoke about how she was coping since her mother's (the late singer/actress Whitney Houston) death the night before the Grammy Awards. It is reported that she has inherited all of the mother's estate. She now lives alone in her mother's house. Although she tried to appear bright and cheerful, as if she was managing her loss well, I still remembered that she had been almost overwhelmed in the days right after her mother's sudden demise.
I for one am very concerned that young Bobbi Kristina has been left alone in that big house. That house has been her home for a long while, and all the powerful memories in that house may cause her to spiral into depression rather than help in the healing proces if there is no one to help her in the grieving process. Should she be alone at this period, so soon after her mother's death? Especially as it is alleged that she also has problems with drugs?
Here are what I recommend:
- Bobbi Kristina should have someone with her right now. She is too vulnerable emotionally, and may try to dull her pain with drugs, or alcohol. She needs someone to talk to. like a relative or very close friend with her mother that she can share her memories with. This is healthy.
- Grief counselling is also advised at this time, to help her cope with her mother's death. I would recommend biblical counselling because she would realize that Jesus loves her and is with her, even in the midst of this sad, tough time of her life.
- I would recommend that she be protected from too much pressure from the press until she is again able to cope with this. Even though she appears to be handling this okay at this point in time, it is only a few weeks since her mother died, and she needs the time to heal without being a source of perusal from the press and the fans.
I'm hoping her father, Mr. Bobby Brown, would keep to his word and take care of his daughter. She needs him at this time. Please, Mr. Brown, do as you has sworn and let her stay with you. PLEASE, do arrange for the counseling that she so badly needs.
