   I was in your same situation a year ago. You are just a little overwhelmed with your problems and can’t see straight right now. First of all, take a deep breath and pray and cry it out to God. (This may go on for months until you get stronger:) God puts us through trials to make us closer (rely on) to Him. After I lost my job, marriage, and everything else, there were times when I literally didn’t know how or where I was going to get an essential item, and God provided it.
   Also, apply for unemployment and food stamps immediately. You may be able to get food stamps right away but it will be a few frustrating weeks waiting on unemployment. Apply for housing assistance and any other public programs you may qualify for. If your children’s father is deceased, apply for social security for your kids.
   Apply for childcare assistance so that you can afford childcare while you look for a job. When you register for unemployment benefits, update your resume and begin applying for available jobs. Tell everyone you know you need a job, including your Facebook friends. You may not find something in your field right away, but it will pay the bills.
   Stay positive and strong in front of your children, and remember you are not alone. Consider joining a church, and a ministry so that you can surround yourself with other positive people outside of your family. If church is not your thing, read the Bible to gain some peace of mind.
   Start reading the paper and going to the library to find free events to keep your children entertained. You will also be amazed at the new or almost new clothes and toys you can find at the local thrift store.
   These are just a few things I did to cope and I hope some of it helps.

   See first of all for god’s sake never think about things like you are on the dead end. You have responsibilities and duties on your shoulders… What about your children if you begin to think like that.
   Second, you should try hard to get your bussiness going. Pray to the god. Thats all I can say

   Get a short term loan, then start selling off everything you have that has no value to you. Get a job, then get another job, and do whatever you can to survive. You need to start thinking in survival mode, everything you can do that can cost even a penny counts. Things will get better, but this is what you should do to get off your feet. Pay off the loan, cut all debt, pay off credit cards if you have debt on them. Doing all this will increase your credit score, which can help you get back on your feet. Most importantly find a way to make some money. Post an ad in a newspaper of things you can do, find a job and work. After all that, try to still do some volunteer work, which can help you find connections, through connections you can find a better life. Go to church, or any other place that offers meals after service, these will provide connections too, which will help you when you need a baby sitter.
