I recently lost my mother and even though we knew it was coming,

It was still a very difficult loss to accept.

This poem and affirmation prayer is for those who are grieving.

I've had many suggestions but one of the most helpful that I have received is to set aside time to grieve.

Pick a time and review the experiences,

Videos,

Notes,

And other communications from your past loved one.

May you find healing in this process.

Sorrow sweeps through my soul like the sword of yesteryear.

Waves of sorrow smash upon my heart reminding me of you,

Of your love,

Of your kindness.

I drown in the eventual stillness gasping for air.

Why was life so unfair to you?

But it's me who doesn't let go.

It's me who feels guilty for not suffering your loss longer.

If I hold on to that feeling then the memory doesn't slip away.

Miss the feeling of our etheric touch.

I dreamt of seeing your soul last night but I had tied a rope to it.

You kept trying to fly away but I kept pulling you back.

You turned to me.

Today I cry and let you go.

Release you from the earth plane.

The rope unties and I see your smiling soul.

Blessings.

Dear Spirit,

God Energy,

Higher Self,

Universal Knowledge,

Thank you for hearing this prayer.

As I need strength during this challenging time,

I turn to you for guidance and love.

May I be strong.

May I have the strength to accept my grief.

I understand I feel grief because I have loved.

I know who has passed,

Would not want me to live in sorrow.

May I cherish their memory and remember them with fondness.

May I find peace.

I understand my grief has pushed other emotions and responsibilities aside,

Yet I can accept it.

May I have the know-how to work with grief.

May I cope with this endless sadness and constant heartache.

May I accept my loved one is no longer suffering.

Help me see the good in my life.

Guide me through my loss.

May I feel loving kindness.

May I forgive myself for the things I've done or not done.

May I accept that there was nothing I could have done to change what happened.

May I heal from the silencing of their voice and touch.

May I set time aside to remember their memory.

Thank you for having this beautiful soul in my life.

I will cherish them and let their soul be free.

May I feel safe.

I send my love.

Thank you for hearing my prayer.

Blessings.
