My husband of 16 years just last week passed away, I have 7 kids and am pregnant with our 8.

Alexis - 14

Annika - 10

Alianah - 8

Aliyah - 8

Aidan - 6

Aria - 4

Alexa - 2

My oldest Alexis is struggling hard at the moment, I know it’s early days with everything that’s just happened but they had a close relationship.

Am I going to struggle being a single parent of 8? What can I do to help myself and the children through this rough patch?

I realise these are ridiculous questions to be asking, like I’m the parent I know what’s best but I guess I just need help.
