In a post shared to Instagram Stories, Hilaria wrote: ‘I’ve had to have some conversations, explaining recent events to my oldest children recently.
‘You can imagine how heart-wrenching it has been. I’m grateful to The Child Mind Institute, for guiding me. I’m grateful to my friend, Anne, for encouraging me to reach out to them.
‘Sometimes, I just freeze, knowing I’m the adult, who must guide my family, but so lost as what the right direction is.
‘There is no manual we are provided. Sometimes I catch myself, surprised that I’m in the adult position and I’m like: shouldn’t I know what to do??? I’m grateful for this book I will post next.

‘All of these have helped me explain the tremendous sadness and heartbreak to my children.
‘You have no idea how much all of your kindness, love and support mean. Yes, you who are readng this. I know how lucky I am to have you.’
Hilaria then shared a snap of the book she’d used to help explain to her children about Alec’s recent tragedy.
She and Alec are parents to Carmen, age eight, Rafael, six, Leonardo, four, Romeo, three, Eduardo ‘Edu’, 14 months, and María, eight months
And in the wake of her son Rafael, six, accidentally writing a cuss word on the family’s car, it seemed that he hadn’t completely learned his lesson, as she shared a snap of him writing the word ‘a**hole.’

Clearly amused by her son’s behaviour, Hilaria captioned the post: ‘Rafa asked me ”did I spell what I think I spelled?”
The Baldwin family has been keeping a relatively low profile over the past month after Alec accidentally shot and killed Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on set of the Western film on October 21.
He now faces a looming lawsuit for the accidental shooting.
Baldwin, who had been shooting Rust in New Mexico, was told the prop gun he was rehearsing with on set was ‘cold’, or safe to use, according to the Santa Fe county sheriff’s office.

But tragedy unfolded when he fired the weapon which turned out to be loaded with live rounds, killing Hutchins and injuring film director Joel Souza.
Baldwin released a statement expressing his ‘shock and sadness regarding the accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours.’
‘I’m fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family,’ he said.
‘My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna.’
