#14: There is life after death.
We may always be shattered, but in time we learn to breathe again... love again and laugh again.
As a mother, I almost felt compelled to be miserable. I felt that if I smiled again that I would end up forgetting my Aiden.
The fact is, no matter how many tears that may flow or how many smiles may come across my face, I will never forget Aiden.
The question became simple: Was I going to spend the rest of my life in mourning or was I going to live my life for not only myself, my living children, but also for my Aiden?
The answer was clear.
There is life after death. And it is okay to breathe, love and laugh again.
The first battle is giving yourself permission to do just that.
