This bonus episode is in honor of the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. The month of September is dedicated to the Sorrowful Mother. In this episode, Liz talks with Eileen Tully, found of Present in the Pain, about her journey with child loss, keeping an eternal perspective on your suffering, trusting that God has something better for you even in your pain, Our Lady's invitation to heal, what "secondary loss" is, what it means to suffer well, and ways to support a woman who has suffered a child loss.
Eileen is the founder of a Catholic apostolate ministry for bereaved mothers called Present in the Pain. She is a speaker, writer, and a coach who offers healing retreats and helpful resources - including a podcast and a prayer book - for pregnancy and child loss. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband and six children, with four saints in heaven who intercede for them all.
