2)DO Something different: what can you DO or STOP DOING that would influence her to find some full or part-time work?

What are YOUR thoughts?
I think I need to take the lead as suggested. If I wait for my W to take the initiative to look for work, I'll be waiting for weeks or months. I can start looking for jobs for her, and when I find a good lead, let her know. I will then encourage her to apply for it. The idea is to get some movement towards finding a job, with me taking the initial steps. This has worked in the past. Her sister has taken on the role of looking for work for her, but is not in a position at this time to help her. I'll need to step up.
