Give us the kindness
to hear with compassion,
to offer support,
loving comfort and care.
Give us the courage
to do what is needed,
the wisdom to choose
what is right and fair.
Give us the vision
to see what is possible.
Give us the faith that
will help pave the way
for a present that’s
hopeful, a future
that’s peaceful-
give us the heart
to bring joy to
each day.

At times we all struggle with what to say when a loved one, a friend or acquaintance has just lost someone to death. We find we often struggle with the right words to say, often times we over think what we should say and we may decide to say nothing at all. At times just being present to the person can make a huge difference or one may say, “I don’t know what to say, but I am here for you.”
