There is a painting at church of Jesus on the cross, with his mother Mary there at the foot. Mary has gray hair. If she gave birth to Jesus, say at age 17, then she would have been 47. Yes, her hair most likely would have been gray.
I had a season of significant grief at age 47. It allowed me to appreciate Mary's great love for her Savior Son and to realize her agony of heart as she watched him suffer and faced her own future without him.
Every difficult road we travel broadens our level of compassion for the suffering of others.

But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. [Lamentations3:3]
