Singer Celine Dion says it was "tough" for her to deal with things after her husband Rene Angelil passed away, but now she feels "stronger" than ever.
Angelil died last January after a long battle with throat cancer.
The 48-year-old singer said circumstances made her the leader of the family and now she has become more confident, reported Entertainment Tonight.
"I feel stronger. He gave me the rest of him. I feel stronger, I step forward. I say what I mean, I mean what I say. I stand up for my kids and I feel like I'm the leader of the family.
"Now I have to stand up for myself and say, 'I'm not sure. I need time,' and I take more time, because before, I didn't even have any questions," Dion said.
The "Power of Love" singer, who recently launched 'The Celine Dion Collection' of handbags, luggage and accessories with the Bugatti Group, said creating the collection helped her through a difficult year.
"When he left, he came inside of all of my kids' hearts and mine, he gave the rest of his 50 percent for me to be complete, to continue the rest of my life, to feel strong and to believe that I can still do this and he will always be with me," she said.
