Reminding the reader that times of grief and loss are not meant to be handled alone, author Silas Henderson writes: “whatever challenges, loss, or grief we might experience, whatever our sorrows, Mary, our mother and guide, stands with us to help us, offering us her compassion and love.” Referencing specific events known as the “seven sorrows,” he illustrates how Mary’s faith, resilience, courage, and hope allowed her to trust in God, even in the most troubling of times.
