How to pray for a husband or wife who is no longer there

It is heartbreaking when you lose a spouse, half of yourself, loved for so long.

Losing it can be a severe blow to the point that you feel that your world has definitely collapsed.

If you find yourself in this situation, you need to be strong and courageous. While it may seem like it is far from you, it really isn't.

St. Paul he says: “We do not want to leave you in ignorance, brothers, about those who have died, so that you will not continue to grieve like the others who have no hope. 14 We believe that Jesus died and rose again; so also those who have died, God will gather them together with him through Jesus. " (1 Thessalonians 4: 13-14).

Therefore, you must always keep in mind that your spouse is still alive. Whenever you think of him / her, you can passionately recite this prayer:

“I entrust you, my dear bride / my dear husband, to almighty God and I entrust you to your creator. Rest in the arms of the Lord who created you from the dust of the earth. Please watch over our family in these troubled times

.

Holy Mary, the angels and all the saints welcome you now that you have come out of this life. Christ, who was crucified for you, bring you freedom and peace. Christ, who died for you, welcome you to his garden of Paradise. May Christ, true Shepherd, embrace you as one of his flock. Forgive all your sins and place yourself among those he has chosen. Amen".
