In Dyffryn Ardudwy, North Wales, Cloe Green shares a heartbreaking tale of losing her husband, James, at 31, just 12 weeks after their eighth child’s birth. Despite futile attempts to revive him, James passed away in his sleep. The couple, who always dreamed of a large family, saw it fulfilled with children Leo, Levi, Oliver, Megan, Miley, Lacey, Lexi, and Elijah. Cloe, determined to be both mother and father, faced the agonizing task of telling their kids about their father’s passing, labeling it the hardest moment.

In a bid to immortalize their family memories, Cloe initiates a crowdfunding effort to complete a garden project James envisioned. The couple, unapologetic about their large family, sustained it through James’s hard work in a café. A contraceptive implant failure led to Elijah’s birth, completing their family.

Tragically, James succumbed to hypertensive heart disease during a family outing. Left with the challenge of managing life as a young widow with eight children, Cloe draws strength from memories. After eight months, she honors James’s love for fatherhood through positive actions, symbolizing resilience in the face of tragedy.
