#6: Its okay to smile again.
It took me quite a few years to understand that I didn't have to live my life in utter and complete sadness in order to show my love for my Aiden. Just because I smiled and laughed again didn't mean I loved Aiden any less.
Moving forward does not mean forgetting.
The sun will rise and set with or without us. Memorialize and do not forget, but allow yourself to smile again and give yourself permission to live again.
It is the only way to survive this tragedy.
If you allow yourself to sink down and stay in a spiral of depression, self-loathing and anger, you will find that it is that much harder to climb back out.
Remember: Celebrate the life of your angel, not the tragedy of their death.
