Grieving for a loved one

[Evania]

I lost a dear family member a few years back. She was also my best friend and closest confidant. I have gone through the grieving process, and moved into the acceptance stage. Lately though, I have really been missing her extremely bad…I’m finding myself missing our conversations and it’s hard that she’s missing key events in my life. I don’t know what I’m really asking…maybe for some prayers and advice on how to not feel so down.

It doesn’t go away, the pain, not completely, not this side of heaven. I wish it did. But because Christ suffers with us, we can suffer with him. I pray that you are able to unite your pain with Jesus’ pain. Remember that you are with him and that he is with you. Talk to your mother, Mary. Make a new saint friend. Pray for your friend’s soul. Live your life for the glory of God. Don’t dwell on the pain at all times. Let it pass when you can. But be comforted, not because CAF is here, but because Jesus is there shedding a tear for your friend with you. I pray you may have peace and hope for the final resurrection from the dead.

When we think of our loved one or dream about them or notice synchronicity reminding us, it is God giving them this grace to contact you. Which mean, you need to pray for her. I would pay her a mass. Our loved one need our prayers and mass is so suiting for her. There is also a very special novena starting this Holy Friday (Divine Mercy). One of the day, we pray for the soul in purgatory so the blood and water of Jesus can bring relief to them.

Pray for her, when i feel grieve, i do this and i immediately feel peace.

Remember that you have Jesus to console you, you are truly not alone not to count your guardian angel.

Love and blessings!

I hear you. I have lost a lot of family including a beloved feline companion. You could keep a journal of letters to her and write to her about what is going on in your life. If your family member was a Christian, you could console yourself that you’ll see her in heaven (this helps me with my loved ones).
