This is not a memory but it definitely helped me with the list of my child so I hope it helps you all with the loss of your loved one.
Heavenly Father,
My heart feels heavy with grief, and the weight of loss leaves me feeling so alone. There are moments when the sadness feels overwhelming, and I don’t know how to move forward. But I know that You see my pain, and You are close to me in my sorrow. Hold me in your arms, Lord, and comfort me with your presence. Let me feel your peace in the midst of of my heartache and the quiet assurance that I am not walking g this path alone. Wipe away my tears and remind me of the hope I have in you. You are my refuge and strength, my ever-present help in trouble. Teach me how to carry this loss without losing hope. Help me to release my pain into Your hands, trusting that You are working even in the hardest moments. When the grief feels too much to bear, fill me with the courage to face each day and the faith to keep moving forward. Thank you for Your unfailing love and for being the God who sees me, holds me, and walks with me . I place my sorrow in your hands and rest in the hope that You will bring beauty from ashes.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
