How does a mother of six children under 15 cope if her husband dies of brain cancer?

Answer 1

Social Secuirty will pay you a certain amount of money per child until they turn 18. And it changes with the cost of living. I got as much at 950 per month after my mom died. My dad is also getting the money from her retirement since she died before retirement.

Answer 2

I think that what you are going through must be very hard and can undermine you very easily . I think that maybe counseling would help and maybe talking with your spiritual advisor ,you know a pastor or someone you really trust . do you have a job? If not then I would see about maybe getting a job part time to help fill the void and the pocket . I cannot imagine the stress either . did he leave you with life insurance ? I sure hope so . Just try to take it easy and not worry so much and again see about getting some counseling . I wish you luck and I will pray for you .also to all the answerers before me she is talking about all of her kids being under 15 .

Answer 3

I know, I know? Your Church of Christ. If you need financial assistance you can appy for state aid for food stamps and free medicaid for your children. The church will help with day care so that you can get a job. Just know ONE THING! Everyone needs help from time to time and don't be too proud to ask for help. That what you church is there for. Above all, have faith, blind faith, that God will take care of you and your children because if your start having doubts about trusting HIM.......YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED. I know that sounds harsh,but there is no time to grieve loss; your husband is in a better place and you have childen that need you more!

Answer 4

I am so sorry for your loss, I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. The most important thing is to take care of your kids. I'm sure they are scared, and confused, and worried that something will happen to you. You must take care of yourself, and reassure them that you will be there for them. You must grieve, but don't let the grief overcome your life. You have to go on living for yourself and your kids, and I am sure your husband would expect the same. It will get easier. You can find comfort in support groups, church, family, friends and your kids. Become active in the community, and with work. Keep strong, and take good care of yourself. Good luck
