My husband works far away and I feel alone managing the house and children by myself. What can I do?

Feeling alone is natural and not a sign that you are ungrateful; carrying a household alone really is heavy. Build support around you: close family, trusted neighbours, or a mothers' group in your area. Tell your husband your needs honestly so that he can help arrange things from afar and does not assume everything is under control. Set routines that make your day easier and take a little time for yourself. If the sadness is prolonged and weighing you down, see a doctor or counsellor. Allah's help is near to those who are patient. See mental health.
