Please pray for her and for me.

She abused prescription drugs and took a fatal combination. I found her with not breathing and turning blue. The paramedics worked on her for about 10-15 minutes and got a pulse, but she had 5 cardiac arrests in the emergency room. She is completely brain dead. They are keeping her on life support for organ donation. We knew each other for 30 years.

I had a priest give her the Anointing of the Sick.

I am an emotional, grief stricken wreck. Please pray for the repose of her soul and put in a few payers for me.

Thanks.
 
Praying. I know this must be horrible for you, especially since you are the one who found her. But don’t give up, let God help you through this. And I’m sure I’m not the only one who would say that I’m here for you. If you just need to talk, let me know.
 
Byzantine Catholic Prayer for the Deceased

O Lord, grant rest to the soul of Your departed handmaid in a place of light, a place of green pasture, a place of refreshment, where all pain, sorrow, and sighing have fled away. As a good God Who loves mankind, forgive every sin committed by her, in word or deed or thought, for there is no man who lives and does not sin. For You alone are without sin, Your righteousness is everlasting, and Your Word is truth.

Amen

+++++++++++++

Prayer for the Deceased Person and for Mourners

Lord Jesus, our Redeemer, You willingly gave Yourself up to death so that all people might be saved and pass from death into a new life. Listen to our prayers; look with love on Lakotak and others who mourn and pray for their dying sister. Lord Jesus, You alone forgive our sister her sins.

By dying You opened the gates of life for those who believe in You; do not let Your sister be parted from You, but by Your glorious power give her light, joy, and peace in heaven where You live for ever and ever. Amen.

+++++++++++

Thank you. Right now I can’t stop crying. I tried so hard to tell her, but she would not listen. I tired to get her back to Church, she would not listen to this either.
 
Lord our God,
you are always faithful and quick to show mercy.
lakotak’s roommate, our sister,
was suddenly taken from us.
Come swiftly to her aid,
have mercy on her,
and comfort her family and friends
by the power and protection of the cross.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
 
Gosh, how horrible 😦 Praying for the repose of your roommate’s soul, and keeping you and all who grieve for her in my daily prayers as well. God bless.
 
Lakotak, I prayed for you and your room mate. My condolences. If I may ask without upsetting you too much, can you tell us the combination and kinds of drugs she abused as a heads up for the rest of us? I have a sister who takes an enormous amount of painkillers and mood-altering meds and I’m worried about her. Thank you, sorry about your pain and loss. :crossrc:

Don’t stop. The tears are what you need right now. A time will come when that will change, don’t push yourself to stop.

Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy!
Hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope!
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to you do we send up
our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears!
Turn then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us:
and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
Pray for us, Holy Mother of God!

You are in my Prayers and Daily Mass for sure and she is too. Put your grief in the Immaculate Heart of Our Blessed Mother, she understands grief better than any of us ever could. My son came home a few years ago and found a friend that was out of work and staying with him, hanging in the bathroom, he was able to get him down, revive him and get 911 in time to save his life. But that left my son very shaken. The man was OK, and did find work and has thanked my son so many times for coming home in time. He had no idea this man would do such a thing. The fellow has been fine ever since. Some things are just out of our hands so we trust God in all. God Bless, Memaw
 
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let Your perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Lord, send Your Holy Spirit to console her loved ones in this, their time of sorrow.

Amen.
 
I am so sorry, what a terrible thing to happen. Praying for you and for your dear friend.
 
**:hug1:You both are in my prayers.

Blessed Mother, please intercede for us.
Hold the sorrowful, strengthen the fearful,
mother and love the weary, abused, neglected
or forgotten among us,
give your aid to all needing help or healing,
assist those who are sick, in pain or suffering,
be with those needing peace,
console the lonely or brokenhearted,
comfort the lost or hopeless,
guard the unborn,
pray for those who are dying or who have died,
soften those with hardened hearts,
enlighten those who do not yet see truth,
help us be brave enough to let our hurt and anger go,
show us the way to do the right thing,
protect those who are in danger,
and guide us from every evil.
May all who keep your sacred commemoration
experience the might of your assistance.
Amen :gopray:**
 
So, so, sorry.

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.

Find peace, dear sister, find peace.

May the Grace of God’s peace surround you and fill you as it can do (has done?) for your roommate.

Thank you God that you brought this wonderful person into the life of this struggling soul. Thank you that she was able to receive the mercy of last rites. How amazing is that?

Prayers for this soul and for all those struggling with addiction and self-loathing. May the Lord who loves us more than we can imagine show them how He sees them. Amen.

She got, from the pain clinic, endocet, oxycotin, kolonapin (sp), soma and celexa (sp) from her Psychiatrist. She abused the number and she took a fatal combination. I think it was the kolonapin(sp) that was the real killer. She did not tend to use the oxycotin. I think she sold it. Kolonapin causes you to forget and as a result you keep taking more and more until you have finished the bottle in half the time. They also think that she vomited and it went into her lungs and in her condition, she could not wake up to expel it. I hope this is helpful.
 
I am sorry to hear this. I will pray for you, her and her family. This is one of those tragic things in life that are very hard to bear. Know that God is with you during this time. Peace.
 
I am sorry to hear of all this. I will definitely pray for you and your roommate.

God bless.
 
Praying for your freind and for you also. May the love of Christ fill you.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.

In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever. Amen
 
Praying for her soul and yourself aswell during this testing and very sad and distressing time. I will offer my divine mercy chaplet for her soul tomorrow also.
 
I am so very sorry.
