God of mercy and compassion, we beseech you to comfort us at this time of sadness and mourningOur beloved one has departed and we do not know why
But we love them and ask that you grant them and us your love and peace
We thank you for their life and for being part of ours and though we yearn for them to be amongst us, we know that they truly have not left us.
In our hearts Lord, you know we are hurting and in pain, but with your guiding hand, we will come to accept their passing.
Dearest Father, grant them eternal rest and peace, and love them as we did, keeping them close to your heart until we will all be reunited in your Kingdom.
Watch over us, protect us, heal us, and love us.
This we ask you each and every day. Amen
