The rosary is a great comfort.
Lord, receive Janina into your Kingdom and send comfort and solace to her family.
The Lord is my Shepherd: I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

This is on a prayer card I keep near a picture of my Mother and Father:

Do not stand by my grave and weep…
I am not there.
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am a diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush,
I am the swift upflinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night
Do not stand by my grave and cry…
I am not there.
I did not die.
I live with the Risen Lord.

usmaedchen, I never heard that prayer before. It’s both true and beautiful. All this funeral/cemetery stuff is just for us to have a place to mourn. All souls - however - continue living.

It’s 3 weeks now since my mom lost her life. The pain isn’t as bad but the wound is still fresh. I miss her. However, her last breathe here was her first breathe with God. Our loss is Heaven’s gain.

O Gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of Thy departed servant, Janina. Be not severe in Thy judgement but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames, and do Thou, O Merciful Savior, send Thy angels to conduct Thy departed servant to a place of refreshment, light, and peace. Amen.
May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
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 death.

Amen***

The loss you have suffered will always be felt, OU812. On Mother’s Day and on her birthday and at Christmas you will miss her especially. But you will know that she is with you still, looking on and still helping and guiding you. Often you will think that she would advise you a certain way or say a certain thing - and you will take great comfort in that.

Lord, receive Janina into your kingdom and send her family comfort and solace.

Our Father in Heaven
Holy be Your Name
Your Kingdom come
Your Will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us
Do not bring us to the test
But deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace!
The Lord is with you
Blessed are you among women
And Blessed is the fruit of your 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 and ever shall be
World without end.
Amen.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord,
And let perpetual light shine upon her.

May she rest in peace.
Amen.

May the souls of the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
 
Once again, thank you for the prayers.

It’s now been over a month since her passing. The pain isn’t as heavy but I still do miss her, I still have moments as if she’s still here.

We had a 30 minute mass dedicated to her on Monday. We had to settle on that short mass because one evening mass was in English (My family is Polish) and the other mass had too many intentions. We also went to the cemetery to lacquer her wooden cross, light some candles and pray. Later, we celebrated her memory by eating one of her favorite dishes: shrimp scampi.

The thing about the dish is that my sister long wanted to make it; even when my mother was still alive. The reason we postponed it for so long was because my sister brought it up to my mom, and my mom made this disappointed face because she wouldn’t get to enjoy it. My sister promised her it would be the first dish she would make once she felt better.

Some children grow-up without a mother; some go well into adulthood not knowing who their mothers are. Some children grow-up with an unkind, unloving mother. Some have a mother for only a small amount of time.

Me? I was blessed to have such a person to call mother for 27 years. I will never forget her, I will always bring her up, and I will not stop loving her. May her memory be eternal.

We’ll meet again…
O Gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of Thy departed servant, Janina. Be not severe in Thy judgement but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames, and do Thou, O Merciful Savior, send Thy angels to conduct Thy departed servant to a place of refreshment, light, and peace. Amen.

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
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 unaided.
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. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
