In this episode, Eileen shares the development of her own relationship with Mary, the Blessed Mother, and how she came to know her under the title of Our Lady of Sorrows.

She unpacks the promises Our Lady gives for meditating on her sorrows and the spiritual benefits of doing so - for grieving mothers and for anyone who is suffering.  She also discusses the first sorrow of Mary - the prophecy of Simeon.

Eileen mentions St. Alphonsus Liguori's beautiful book, The Glories of Mary (affiliate link), in this episode.

In this episode, Eileen discusses the changes that can happen to our relationships after the loss of our child.

Changes happen in our relationships with ourselves as we have this experience not knowing what we need or how to navigate our newly-limited capacity for things we once did. They happen in our relationship with God as we may find it hard to pray and to trust Him to meet our needs. And finally, they happen with other people, and this can be yet another secondary loss we need to grieve as dynamics change with our changing needs.

St. Paul tells us to "Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep." (Romans 12:15), but not everyone is capable of doing the latter with us. It is very difficult to sit with people in their pain, but it is truly needed, and a real act of love.

Have you found that your relationships have changed following the loss of your child?

In this episode, Eileen discusses the ways that understanding that grieving the loss of a child can be more intense and can last longer than other kinds of grief can help us to grieve with hope. When we recognize that there is no timeline to our grieving process, and don't take on the expectations of others for where we "should" be in our healing process, we can be gentle with ourselves and allow ourselves the time we need to heal.

Eileen discusses the five remedies for pain and sorrow that St. Thomas Aquinas discusses in the First Part of the Second Part of the Summa Theologica.
