A son remembers his mother, the 'widow whisperer,' who found purpose in helping older women
A guest columnist shares how his mother, Cathie McCann, became known as the "widow whisperer" in her Latter-day Saint ward by embracing and helping older widows. She reflects that these women taught her how to be a mother when she was young and inexperienced, and that she received more from them than she gave.
Key quotes
They taught me how to be a mom, when I was young and didn't know what I was doing.
Those women filled a need for me, more than I ever did for them.
