Teresa Giudice is keeping busy holding her family of four young daughters together while husband Joe is away serving out his 41-month prison sentence.

The "Real Housewives of New Jersey" stars said their goodbyes earlier this month when Joe reported to New Jersey's Federal Correction Institution, Fort Dix, to begin serving out the terms of his sentence on bank fraud related charges.

"Teresa and the girls are sad that Joe's gone, but they're doing their best to adjust," a source told PEOPLE magazine. A source later added, "Her life centers around taking care of them and making sure they get to their activities to keep life as normal as possible for them."

Family Coming Together to Fill Void

For their part, the girls are rumored to be doing all they can to help out, which makes their reality TV star both proud and happy.

Throughout her days of starring on "RHONJ," Teresa has always shown herself to put heavily into her family. Even while she was away serving out her 11-month prison sentence on some of the same charges her husband was convicted of, she managed to stay hands on.

Scenes from her three-part Bravo special "Teresa Checks In," regularly showed her interacting with her daughters in jailhouse conversations.

The two parents, both 43, were allowed to serve time separately so at least one of them would be able to be home with their daughters. Teresa was released from custody just before Christmas.

Joe Releases Jailhouse Statement

Since starting his sentence, Joe has released a statement through his attorney where he reflected, "It was obviously a very emotional day, but this is a very strong family with a tremendous support system and they will get through this, just as they did when Teresa was away."

Though slapped with a 41-month sentence, Joe has previously expressed he hopes to be released after serving just 18 months.
