The Need

With our new mission and focus, we’d like to provide additional information as to why we’re bringing our efforts to help single family homes or homes suffering from the loss of a provider or child. Below is research we’re conducted to show just how many challenges single family homes deal with in comparison to the traditional nuclear family.

Maternal mental health has declined sharply (single mothers disproportionately affected).
Between 2016 and 2023 the share of U.S. mothers reporting “excellent” mental health fell from ~38% to ~26%, while the share reporting “fair/poor” mental health rose from 5.5% to 8.5%. The study found that single mothersand mothers of lower socioeconomic status reported significantly worse mental-health status than other groups. PMC

1. Widowhood (partner death) substantially raises risk of depressive disorder; population meta-analyses estimate clinical depression prevalence in widowhood at ~17–20%.
   Systematic reviews / meta-analyses of widowhood report that approximately 17–20% of bereaved spouses meet criteria for major depressive disorder (rates vary by age, time since loss, and study design). This provides a baseline expectation that a non-trivial minority of adults who lose a partner will develop clinical depression. SpringerLink

2. Parents (especially younger parents with dependent children) commonly report high grief and depression after partner loss.
   Studies focused on parents with dependent children find higher levels of grief, depressive symptoms, and parenting-related stress than in older or non-parent bereaved groups; qualitative/clinical studies report that young widowed parents often experience intense grief while simultaneously juggling childcare, increasing their psychological burden.

3. Bereavement is linked to elevated rates of prolonged grief disorder (PGD), PTSD, anxiety, and co-occurring conditions among bereaved caregivers and parents.
   Reviews and government reports note that PGD, PTSD symptoms, and major depression commonly co-occur after traumatic or unexpected losses; bereaved parents are a high-risk group for complicated grief and associated psychiatric comorbidity. Estimates of PGD prevalence vary by sample and trauma type but are large enough to be a public-health concern. ASPE+1

4. Large numbers of U.S. children experienced caregiver death during the COVID era, increasing the group of surviving single parents facing grief + caregiving duties.
   Analyses estimate 100,000+ to 140,000+ U.S. children lost a parent or custodial caregiver during early pandemic waves; those children’s surviving parents (often mothers) therefore faced new or increased caregiving responsibilities, grief, and economic stressors — all factors associated with worsened parental mental health. arXiv+1

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
