Parenting Mum's heartbreak as she is left bringing up EIGHT children alone after being widowed at 27

A mum has told of her heart ache after being left widowed at just 27 with EIGHT children to care for.

Cloe Green is left alone to care for her big family after husband James died in his sleep at the tender age of 31.

The tragedy happened just TWELVE weeks after she had given birth to their youngest, Elijah, when James was the victim of a heart condition.

But the brave young mum is putting her grief to one side and has vowed to be both mum and dad to their children.

Cloe says: “It was so sudden and so shocking. To think James won’t be here to see the large family he wanted so much grow up breaks my heart.
