"A mother experiences more than one death, even……" — Saint John Chrysostom

"A mother experiences more than one death, even though she herself will only die once. She fears for her husband; she fears for her children; again she fears for the women and children who belong to her children. ... For each of these-whether for loss of possessions, bodily illness, or undesired misfortune-she mourns and grieves no less than those who suffer."

— Saint John Chrysostom
