Sometimes it's hard to know what to do to help the ones we love. How do we support a person who has a disease or illness that we don't understand nor want for our loved one? The answer is simple in theory and hard in reality for many: with love and trust. This little book was created to help you understand what it means to be a companion. It was written through the eyes and heart of a mother to a very young girl-many have said, a little saint. It was also written to help you prepare practically for an amazing journey ahead of you and to set your mind at ease. You can't be the one taking the journey, but you can support the one you love in a very beautiful way. Just as Mary summons the Malade to the grotto so too she calls forth the companions. You have been called.
