If you’ve experienced the grief of miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss, you are not alone. In this book, author Michelle Hamel helps parents find comfort and healing in the maternal love of Our Lady of Sorrows. By reflecting on Mary’s Seven Sorrows and sharing her own story of the life and loss of her daughter Therese, Michelle offers a hope-filled, Catholic perspective, reminding us that Mary is here to console us and lead us to her Son.
Michelle is a wife, mom of eight, and grammy of 5 (with more on the way!). She spends her time reading, writing, and searching for good recipes to cook for her growing family. Her favorite things to do include spending quiet time in Adoration, shopping for baby clothes, and planning vacations. She loves to write about topics that feel God-inspired in order to encourage and comfort women. Michelle blogs at Normal Chaos.
