Re: I feel sick to my stomach...
I would love to turn down such fears but unfortunately there has been so much in the news recently where vulnerable home-coming ppl from abroad are being robbed so your concerns are genuine. It depends a lot on the neighbourhood your mom will be staying at and the kind of profile she will keep etc. If she has lived in karachi before, know how to deal with most of the daily stuff there and will have some males helping her out with shopping then I think you should not be much worried. Just make sure she will be more security conscious in Pakistan.
