Your story…

You are a married 28 year old woman. Your husband is the main source of your family’s income as you are a stay-at-home mom, taking care of your five year old son. He is battling some emotional challenges, so you make the choice to stay home and focus on his care. This also includes occasional help from mental health professionals and doctors. The bills become a lot to deal with, but it is all worth it for your son to get the care and support he needs.

You and your husband find yourself living paycheck-to-paycheck. He takes care of the finances and does all of the bill paying. You cherish your time together and do the best you can to make ends meet.

Then, your husband dies by suicide.

You are overcome with unbearable sadness, all while still needing to support yourself and your son. There are so many questions:

Why did this happen?

What do I do?

How do I support my son while dealing with my own grief?

What bills are due, or even overdue? All I have is his last paycheck. No savings. Nothing more will be coming in.

Can I keep the house? I don’t want to disrupt my son’s life even more by moving.

I don’t want to go to work because my son needs me.

It’s all too much.

I’m overwhelmed and don’t even know where to start.

✅ CHOICE: Right now, at this moment, I feel I most need help with…

💵 The financial means to meet basic needs and pay bills

🤝 Finding emotional support and resources for myself and my son

💔 Understanding this grief and not feeling alone
