Youāre already strong. Youāve made it this far. Work and take online classes. I did it. Worked 50 hours a week and did my online class work at night all while taking care of a baby. If you have family near by reach out for help. Having family babysit saves a ton on childcare costs.

Prioritize and do what you can do now. Keep busy but kid time you time. Thatās a lot of loses at one time. Give yourself time to grieve
Put 1 foot in front of the otherā¦
Online school! I realize being a single mom is hard, but nothing is impossible! Good luck
If your on public. Aid they will pay daycareā¦ Well if your in California
If not look for supportive services
Go back to school and get an education that will get you a good paying job.
I raised two boys alone, no help from sperm donorsā¦ They are now 26 and 17ā¦i worked while they were in school and done some evening classes to get me level 5 and 6 in childcareā¦
Im currently raising 3 on my own, you can do this start now with what you want to do and go from there
Iād say, stop second guessing and start working on your goals. Iām a single parent. I have 2 children 5 and under. Iāve raised them alone when there dad decided he didnāt want to parent with me. BUT accomplishing your goals is so possible! I work full time, raise my babies, but I have an associate degree and Iām working on my bachelor. Show that kiddo you can do anything you set your mind on because you can! You got this momma!

Mama that moment you hit the bottom, after floating for so long like a feather you have been flying being apart of something, you separated yourself from that what you knew eventually you gracefully fall to the ground away from that bird you knew, away from what you know, then you will see your childās face and you will realize in that exact moment you need to fly again and that you will with god grace amen !!
Seek a doctor and get your mental health and wellness in check EVEN if medication is required. Aint no shame in needing some help! Trust me. 
One day, one step at a timeā¦u can still accomplish everything u want toā¦Iām a single momma with a special needs toddler and 1 year old twinsā¦its hardā¦and u feel consumed by being a mom and forget u r still a woman alsoā¦hold ur head high cuz u r strong ur raising babies on ur own and thatās not easy at all!!
Iām also a single mom to a 3 year old boy. I feel what youāre feeling. Luckily I have my parents who watch my son so I can work, but Iāve completely lost myself in being a parent. Not saying the āold meā was great, or happy to begin with, but Iām also ready to find this happiness within myself again. Praying for you!! Chin up & one step at a time. Itās okay to learn with your child 
Go back to school. I am a single mother to 3 daughters, have been for 8 years. I went to nursing school, just bought my own house. I had very little help. Where there is a will there is a way. My advise. You are strong. Itās within you, make it happen.
Therapy momma! They teach coping mechanisms as well as healthy decision making strategies
Sorry for your loss praying you. Maybe find a free learning program for your baby and enroll in school that will give you a little time to yourself
Find a moms group, check with local places like WIC that help mothers and children, they can guide you to support groups

Your happiness is coming as fast as it can get to you youāre a very strong women keep going
Yes, you can do this, create a support network, friends, family and professional help, make a list of your goals and go for them, one day at a time (I did it alone too, it wasnāt easy but you got this)
You gotta dig down deep inside and find that motivation. Opposite action, make yourself do things even when you really donāt want too. Itās hard. Iāve been there. It will get better.
If you go to school or have a job you could possibly get child care subsidies from your state, which would may the majority of daycare or babysitter costs. Then youād have the time for both work and school
Have you considered visiting a local church? Some church offer free counseling. You may make a good friend you can count on.
One minute at a time, then one hour at a time, onto one day at time write down your short term goals, then your long term goals. Set realistic goals. Maybe even ālow ballā yourself just slightly so that you donāt get discouraged. Set a time line and get after it! Your stronger than you think, and if you seek therapy or counseling to assist you in tackling your dreams then more power to you your a mom, you carried that beautiful baby boy for 9 months and did it alone. He is 3 now, keep going 
Start with daycare and enroll in school online
Try a program for single mom Iām currently in one they help out a lot to achieve your goals etc

Therapy to help you grieve the loss of your sister and your everyday troubles.
I was the same way after my son. I did online school! You can do it!
You have a child now. School will have to be put on the back burner. Child comes first. Put the child in day care and get a job. When you find time, go to school.
