Being a widowed mother is an every moment struggle. You find yourself taking your cans and bottles back just to get milk and bread for the kids. Living paycheck to paycheck still doesn't pay all the bills so you have to pay some of each or just pay some and not others. You are constantly getting eviction and shut off notices. Pushing forward is all you can do. Sometimes even when trying to find resources to help leaves you drained in every sense of the word. You seem to run into roadblock after roadblock and you have to figure out how to get around them. The times when you are struggling and feel like all hope is lost is when you pull what little strength you have within you and try your best to survive.
