Yen Danielson

Being a mom has been the greatest gift of my life.
My only child, Mia Marsha Do Danielson, taught me more than I ever imagined during her short time on Earth. Even though she is no longer here physically, Mia continues to guide me through the hardest moments of my life. Her love helps me find purpose and meaning as I move forward—until the day I can hold her in my arms again.

Mia sends me beautiful signs—hearts, images like a dog in the sky, and numbers connected to our birthdays—reminders that her spirit is still with me. These signs are her way of letting me know she’s near, still loving and encouraging me.

Through Helping Parents Heal, I’ve learned how to honor my child in a positive way and connect with others who understand this journey. The group has not only helped me heal, but has inspired me to support other parents, especially those in Vietnam, who are navigating the same deep grief.

I don’t want to be seen only as a grieving mother, but as a shining light mom—a mother my daughter would be proud of. I want to live in a way that reflects her love, her light, and her ongoing presence in my life.
