Suggesting therapy?

Anonymous
My SIL is at her wits end with her 3 kids under the age of 5; a stressful job; stressed finances (see daycare for 3 kids) etc. she claims "she hates every part of her life." It breaks my heart to see her going through this. I try to step in with "mommy breaks" and babysitting; but the stress is really wrecking havoc on her.

Id like to give her the name of a therapist that helped me. But, I don't want to offend her -- what's a gentle way to suggest she try a professional? I feel so bad that she is suffering so much.

Is she married to your brother? If so, can you talk to your brother and give him the therapist info. if he feels there is a right time to discuss it privately with his wife?
