Loss of a Loved One

A Prayer for Someone Who Has Lost a Loved One

A Christianity prayer for loss of a loved one. Attributed to Sacred Lens Original.

Lord of compassion,

Draw close to those mourning someone they deeply loved. In the empty spaces where a familiar voice, touch, or presence is painfully missed, bring Your gentle comfort.

Give them freedom to grieve without hurry and strength for the days when sorrow unexpectedly returns.

May treasured memories become sources of gratitude, and may the love they shared continue to shape their lives.

Surround them with people who know when to speak and when simply to remain beside them.

Through every tear, hold them securely in Your everlasting peace.

Amen.
