The children can draw off their dad's social security until they are at least 21.. The mother is going to have to get a job...

The mother gets a job and the children go to daycare or school. I don't know too many living men who support thier kids, so the widow would just join the rest of the wroking mothers. If the father had sustantial life insurance, then she could continue to stay home.

This is the exact scenario one is supposed to plan for via purchasing life (death) insurance. The insurance money goes to the family to pay for expenses.
If no insurance, the wife will have to work and find someone to watch the kids if they are young enough.
good luck!
