Just don't know what to do or how to go about things, my wife and I separated three months ago and we were sharing parental responsibility of our two girls (2&5), we still got on really well as friends so talked about everything to do with bringing them up, now suddenly and unexpectedly she has passed away and it is all down to me.
I have got through breaking the news, making sure they are ok and understand in their own ways what has happened, sorting some of the estate (not much to sort), and the funeral.
Now I have to think about working full time, sorting childcare and actually looking after the girls, potty training the youngest and so on.... all with minimal support.
Don't know where to start.... everyday stuff is ok as I can cook, know how the washing machine, iron, and vacuum cleaner all work and what to do with them.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for good advice on single parenting, also dealing with stress which seems a huge factor in my life at the moment....
