Wanting to clear my mums name

My mums getting older and that means people are starting to think they can treat her like shit at work and church. Afew years ago something terrible happened at work and she was blamed for it even though it wasn't her fault and then a priest recently pretty much insinuated she was a slut (she's the most modest woman I know). No she's not going back to that church and she's thinking of retiring or changing to a different job after all the stress it has put her under (she's a nurse). I just don't know how to help her. She's very stressed over both events. But all I want to is clear her name storm the gates and demand an apology from all the people who lied and put ill on her name. Like how could those nurses have lied and put her name under the slammer. I just read a report that was written about her and I can see why it's effected her so.

Could she contact a lawyer? Sounds like she is suffering slander.

I'd suggest encouraging her to get some legal advice, it sounds like she could definitely use some counseling - I imagine going through something like this would be quite traumatic.
Is it a possibility for her to move somewhere new and get a fresh start? New town, new church, new friends, new job! Not that she should have to of course but sometimes a fresh start is the beginning of the healing process, it can be really hard to move on when you're still exposed to the people who've wronged and hurt you.
