Divine source of all life,
Keeper of every soul,
Hear my prayer today as I stand in reverence,
Remembering those who have passed beyond the veil of this world.
I bow before the great mystery of existence,
Knowing that though their bodies have returned to the earth,
Their spirits remain eternal,
Woven into the fabric of the cosmos.
With every breath I take,
I honor the memory of those no longer with us.
With every beat of my heart,
I send out love to those whose journey has carried them away.
With every word I speak,
I give voice to their legacy.
O great power of creation,
O infinite love that binds all life together,
Let my heart be a vessel of remembrance,
Let my soul be a bridge between this world and the next.
Though the ones we love have departed from our sight,
Though the hands we once held are now beyond our reach,
We know that in your boundless embrace,
They are never lost.
They are here with us in every whisper of the wind.
They are here with us in the warmth of the sun.
They are here with us in the quiet stillness of the night.
Divine Source,
I pray for the peace of their souls.
I pray for the joy of their spirits.
I pray for the love they left behind to continue growing in the hearts of those who remain.
May the light of their essence continue to shine.
May the love they gave continue to bloom.
May their wisdom be our guide,
And may their memory be a blessing.
We release them into the flow of the universe,
Knowing that the energy of their life will never fade.
For energy cannot be destroyed,
And love is eternal.
In this sacred moment,
I ask for your grace.
Help us to carry on in their absence.
Help us to find strength in the memories we hold.
Help us to feel their presence when we need it most.
Though they are no longer by our side,
They are not gone.
They are not lost.
They have transformed.
They have become part of all that is.
Divine Source,
I pray for the courage to release my sorrow.
I pray for the strength to carry their light.
I pray for the wisdom to see that they are not gone,
But have returned to the great circle of life.
Their spirit is the breath of the wind.
Their spirit is the sparkle of the stars.
Their spirit is the heartbeat of the earth.
Let us live in a way that honors their memory.
Let us love in a way that reflects their spirit.
Let us be the continuation of their story.
Though they have gone from this world,
They are not gone from our hearts.
They are not gone from our love.
They are not gone from our lives.
And in this truth,
We find peace.
In this truth,
We find hope.
So I say goodbye in this world,
But I do not say goodbye forever.
For in the great web of life,
In the vast expanse of spirit,
We are always connected.
We are always one.
Divine source of all life,
Hold them now as we hold their memory.
Guide them now as they guided us.
Love them now as we continue to love them.
For they are not lost.
They are not gone.
They have simply returned home.
Amen.
