#3: Allow yourself to find strength in others.

This was one of the hardest things for me to do. I felt like no one understood; and even if they were another bereaved parent, they weren't Aiden's Mom; they didn't know my situation; they weren't there when I found my son, my Aiden, lifeless and breathless.

However, what I came to realize is even though the people who love me will never understand my pain, my tragedy, my loss, that doesn't mean that their love in my darkest hours cannot lift me up in my moments of despair.

Allow them to be your strength when you feel you have none. Mourning can be a very lonely time. Why be alone if you don't have to?
