A PRAYER FOR SOMEONE WHO IS GRIEVING THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE I take my loved by the hand and her to you, God of love. Here is Julianna. Accept my love and thanksgiving as I entrust her into your loving care. I want Julianna to be free to be at home with you. I ask that you save a place for me there beside her and that you be my loving presence in all the lonely moments that await me. I ask that you fill me with motivation and energy in the days ahead when I feel like giving up; remind me often of my true homeland when I am caught up in desolation of the journey. Help me to find joy in the people, events, and the beauty of nature which surround me. Thank you for the gift of Julianna in my life. I want to believe that we will celebrate the treasure of our love again, when we are both in your presence forever. May this truth sustain me in the days to come. Take my sad and aching heart and comfort me. Comfort me, for I can only feel hollowness and emptiness. God of the sorrowing, draw near. Amen. author unknown.
