"Taylor's sole focus right now is taking care of her daughter, and helping her through this very difficult time. Kennedy doesn't know Russell killed himself, Kennedy is just too young to process the idea of suicide," a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com.

"Kennedy will most likely begin therapy sessions in the next week or so. Right now, Taylor is just trying to return to a normal routine for Kennedy's sake," the insider says.
