Baby Name Poll Results

Hi there. sorry for your loss. I lost my father when I was a baby and my mother always felt ’distant’. you just need to tell your girls about their father when ever they ask and don’t let them drift away when they get older. I wish my mother had talked to me more, not just about my father but about general things. As a single parent, although you are just one person you need to love for two. when they get older let them ’walk their own path’ but keep on their heels. Trust me, the more love and affection you give them now and for the first 12-15 years will matter the most. Espically in the first few teenage years because if they don’t feel like you will help them they won’t come to you with problems.
Good Luck, and Best Wishes.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Don’t be too hard on yourself, just do your best. Do you have any friends or family you can ask for advice or even ask to watch them so you can have a break? We always think we can do everything on our own, but in reality we can’t. Ask God for guidance, wisdom, strength, and He will guide your way through it.

Don’t feel alone! Just like you I have a 1 year old son, Lucas Harry, my husband passed away too, 4 months before he was born and I was petrified that I would be awful on my own! I felt depressed all the time and lonely but I absolutely loved my son and I would say that that is what makes you a better mother and now I would say my son is such a happy little child! I wasn’t excited for his arrival after my husband passed away but now I see elements of him in my son and he still feels here with me which makes me feel safer to look after Lucas. Stop worrying and being hard on yourself! I know they are very young but get into the habbit of talking to them about their father so they can get to know him too!
All the best!
