It's been more than a year since Celine Dion's husband, René Angélil, died after a long fight with cancer. Since then, she and her three children have had to cope with his absence in their lives. And though Dion says she's definitely not ready to find love again, she says she has found a way to find peace with her family.

Dion told the British tabloid The Sun that she and her 6-year-old twins, Nelson and Eddy, get the comfort they need after his death by sharing a big bed together every night. "I organize myself to not feel lonely," she said. "So I got myself a huge, huge, huge bed and I sleep with my twins."

Dion said that sharing a bed helps them all cope after René's death, but it will just be temporary. "They are comforting me a lot. I need them. I need them close," she said. "And when it's time for them to say they want their room, their room's ready. But we watch a lot of TV together. I'm discovering Disney."

Her oldest child, 16-year-old, René-Charles, now feels like he's "chief of the house," and Dion says she tries to rid him of that pressure as much as she can. And every night, the kids remember their "Papa" with a sweet bedtime routine. "We kiss him every night. We have a little ritual where we say goodnight to him with a little picture," she said. "Then the kids talk to him. And they write words, put them in balloons and we send the balloons to the sky."
