It will get easier but it may not always feel 'normal'. Massaging tiny fingers extra carefully to work fluid through feels weird. Dressing for a viewing with a little soccer uniform feels weird. Sometimes, especially at first, you might cry, and that's normal. It's also normal to do these tasks and have them feel strictly business.

You were able to do enough then, when at your weakest, when you had nothing and were utterly, utterly alone... you will never be that weak again. You were strong enough then. You will only get stronger.
