"I can't say that I'm strong every day," she said. "I can't say that there aren't days when I feel like I can't survive to the next."
She continued, "This pain is unimaginable [but] you just have to get up and push forward. Lying in bed crying isn't going to change the fact that my family will never be the same again. But getting out of bed and pushing forward is going to make the day better for my girls and for me. So that's what I do."
