A Prayer for Grief After Losing a Spouse
Losing a spouse affects companionship, daily routines, plans, identity, finances, and the shape of home life. This prayer is for the profound adjustment that follows the death of a husband or wife.
Lord, I miss the person who shared so much of life with me. The absence is in the bed, the meals, the decisions, the quiet moments, and the future we expected to share. Give me courage for practical responsibilities that now feel heavier and comfort for the loneliness that cannot be solved by staying busy. Help me receive support without feeling that I must manage everything alone. Teach me how to carry love forward without being trapped by the life that is no longer possible.
Amen.
Scripture: Psalm 68:5 Psalm 23:4
