Loss of a loved one can often feel isolating and desolate. When that loss is due to miscarriage or stillbirth, what resources are available to help those who are suffering?
In this week’s episode, Andrea and Jennifer share a beautiful conversation with guest Eileen Tully and discuss the story of the loss of her twin daughters and how that ultimately led her to create the online magazine,Those Who Mourn as a resource for others looking for a support system during their suffering, grief, and sorrow.

Devotion
Our Lady of Sorrows
O most holy Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ: by the overwhelming grief you experienced when you witnessed the martyrdom, the crucifixion, and death of your divine Son, look upon me with eyes of compassion, and awaken in my heart a tender commiseration for those sufferings, as well as a sincere detestation of my sins, in order that being disengaged from all undue affection for the passing joys of this earth, I may sigh after the eternal Jerusalem, and that henceforward all my thoughts and all my actions may be directed towards this one most desirable object. Honor, glory, and love to our divine Lord Jesus, and to the holy and immaculate Mother of God. Amen.
Prayer for the repose of the souls of Gabriel and Robert as well as their families.
