Read Luke 2 21-40 ..
"There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshipped night and day, fasting and praying. Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem." (36-38)
Anna had suffered a major disappointment in life ~ after just 7 years of marriage, her husband died. Instead of being angry with God/herself/the world, Anna chose to find comfort, peace, purpose and protection in God's presence..
