Life in the NICU can be a difficult time for new parents. In my personal experience, I found a few things that helped me cope through this crisis.
1.) Ask for help. It's okay for friends and family to help.
2.) Take one day at a time. Before you know it, you will be bringing home your little one.
3.) Use this as a time to learn how to care for your newborn. The nurses are very willing to help you learn to change the diaper, feed your infant, hold your infant.
4.) Realize that your newborn is fragile, but strong in their own little way.
5.) Read and talk to your newborn constantly, let them learn your voice.
