Parenting can be difficult but parenting while grieving can be even more difficult.  Trying to balance child care, career and home with emotional distress can sometimes seem impossible.  It is even harder for single parents with less support.  It is important to express grief and share it with your children and to find time for self care.  It is essential to allow oneself to grieve but not to keep it oneself and pass on bad grieving habits to children.
