My cousin has 2 children, elementary school age, and in the past 2 weeks they have lost both their dog and their grandfather to death (the same uncle I asked you to pray for). Please pray for them as they’re having a hard time. My cousin and aunt are doing ok; they have returned to work and are getting lots of support. Thanks.
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen!

Jesus, however, called the children to himself and said, “Let the children come to me and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” (Luke 18:16 NAB)
 
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left forsaken.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
All you Holy Angels and Blessed Saints, watch over these two children who have lost their dog and grandfather. Protect and comfort these innocent ones and cushion their sorrow with an abundance of prayer. Send good people to help them. Amen:gopray2:

Thanks everyone. The girl’s birthday is today; she turned 8. The boy is around 10, I think. We don’t know them that well.
 
Praying for the family. With death in our family, it felt good for the kids to do things: flowers to grave, or church, or sent to some other older person still living (done in honor of the deceased grandparent), gestures and helping others, sorting photos, making cheap copies and creating albums, collages, bookcovers, t-shirts, etc. Doing something that the deceased used to do: go to beach, attend their garden club or even poker night with their old friends (call the friends/club in advance), throw a oarty for those who loved the deceased, or took care of the deceased (if they were in a nursing facility-ask if you could throw a little party for staff and patients.)

With the dog loss, my sister does this with her students: she has them write “20 things we loved about Fido” and then she posts it on the wall with photos.

Kids love to give things meaning.

Also, when my folks died, my brother started new traditions for every year: The circus, the snow, a restaurant, a picnic, a hike, AND he followed through with it every year until they grew up and got busy.
 
Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be
done, on earth as it is in heaven Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our
trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil. Amen

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee
blessed art thou among women and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus
Holy Mary mother of God pray for us
sinners now and at the hour of our death
Amen.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end
