If the situation did not appear so serious I likely would have laughed heartily at many of the responses, the unsubstantiated diagnoses, the wide spectrum of off the wall opinions, blah, blah, blah.
What the OP is seeking is a referral to a psychiatrist (an MD, not a PhD psychologist or MA counselor, or group therapy, informal or formal) who could conduct a medical evaluation and recommend, direct or proceed with some form of treatment to help get her friend through her grieving process and hopefully back to functioning and living her life as best she can.
One would think Central Florida would be replete with psychiatrists as well as other mental health professionals of every stripe who have extensive experience dealing with issues the elderly face such as the deaths of long term spouses.
