  3. Take every day one step at a time. Even those days when you have difficulty putting one foot in front of the other. Lean on family and friends and don't be afraid to ask for whatever you need from them. We lost our 16 year old to cancer 2 years ago. You will have a long road ahead of you, but hang in there.
