Allow the soul journey with your loved one to continue to unfold. In the physical world our connection with others winds through the everyday and mundane and only hints of eternity. When a loved one passes over, our connection with them continues in the whispers and light touch of their presence. However, in this physical world, and in the life beyond, our love is ruled by the light that is always present, shining, and nurturing for all beings.
Prayer is a lifting up of our spirit into this wise, loving presence of the divine all that is. It is an avenue through which we can find solace and invoke blessings and peace for ourselves and our loved ones. The following prayers and meditations may help you to open your heart and sink deep into the soulful love and presence that you share with those on the other side. Peace and blessings be with you.
Divine Presence of Light, guide my loved one to the shores of all love and peace. Send me a beam of your golden light, and bury it deep into my heart and soul. Extend this golden light into the heart of my loved one and bind us together for all of eternity in your pure love and light. Let my loved one know of my unceasing love and devotion and grant us peace.
Mother, Father Divine, my heart has sunk deep into the bottomless reservoirs of grief. Allow the depths of this sadness to reach into the pure divine heart and wipe clean my soul of all that is not love. As tears of loss move through me, let them bear witness to every moment of love I share with my loved one. Then allow my tears to dissolve into the vast sea of formless existence, where my loved one rises in joy.
Divine Presence, in the timelessness and formlessness of pure existence, my loved one travels. My loved one has become like a star in the dark night. I reach out and yet they seem so distant. Gather me into your arms and bring me to the doorway of all love.
My loved one is here and nowhere simultaneously. How do I know when they are near; do they hear my words and feel my love? Where do we meet face-to-face, heart-to-heart? How do I live in this world as if every day is real and holds meaning? Whisper these truths to my soul and reveal the divine path forward.
Divine light of all love, lift my child into your heart. Hold their hand and lead them into the garden of peace and joy. Let them rest among the beauty of endless skies and flowers that whisper smiles. Watch over their tender heart and see to it that they know that they are loved beyond any kind of love that this world has known. Allow them to play, learn, and grow in ways that they could not in this physical land of shadows. Keep them safe, warm, and forever in your holy gaze.
Prayer for Healing and Restoration
Holy one, you who are forever the bearer of compassion and love, heal my loved one. Where once they stumbled and could not walk, let them run and dance in the light of an endless sun. Transform their suffering into endless joy and erase from their memory the sadness and pain. Let all that was denied them in this life be offered in boundless abundance.
Your divine presence is like the fragrant scent of spring and fresh blossoms moving through the soul. Let raindrops of love shower my loved one with bliss.
Divine Mother Goddess, help me to find my way; I’m lost. There is darkness wherever I look. When my loved one departed, a light was extinguished from this world. Let me absorb their essence and feel the soft touch of their love once more. You who are all-eternal, show me kindness and soothe away my doubt and fear. Let me see and be as you and cross the wide expanse of time and space to rest in the love of those held in your grasp.
Brilliant light of love, allow my loved one to huddle close to your heart of compassion. In the divine presence, all is seen and known. Please send the angel of forgiveness to my loved one and wrap them in the wings of transformation. Forgive their misdeeds, mistakes, and all they did that was not of love. Then send this angel to me and purify my soul so that my loved one can find a haven and rest in my heart.
Divine Mother, you are the bridge from fear to joy, from death to life, from being to nonbeing. Take me with you into eternity and reveal to me the truth of life. In your light, death is an illusion, and the petty shadows of doubt clear from my eyes. I want to see as you and be forever in the world of light. Grace my days with joy and not sorrow, fill my heart with the truth of existence, and always hold me close to those I love who eternally play in your soft gaze.
