MGB:_The seven demons were the seven deadly sins. To lose those takes a huge investment in seeking holiness. If Jesus had a wife (and as a Rabbi he likely did) everyone agrees it would have been Mary. When he first saw her after the resurrection, she was told not to cling to him. In other words, she was a widow with a risen husband, or former husband. She had him back as God but not as husband. How do you grieve that? Legend has it she died an old dessert hermit, so gnarled by age and sun that you could not tell her gender by looking at her. That is grieving and worship put together into perfect self-denial.
