Death and dying are parts of life. While some people fear them, others draw inspiration from death.
As nurses, it’s inevitable for us to see some of our patients die and their families deeply grieve for them. Although we can’t bring back their loved ones, there are still ways for us to provide comfort, strength and guidance to the families our patients left behind.
Here are 10 powerful prayers for the departed.
For the recently deceased
In your hands, O Lord,
we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters.
In this life you embraced them with your tender love;
deliver them now from every evil
and bid them eternal rest.
The old order has passed away:
welcome them into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain,
but fullness of peace and joy
with your Son and the Holy Spirit
forever and ever.
Amen.
Prayer for the souls in purgatory
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Prayer for deceased relatives and friends
Almighty Father, source of forgiveness and salvation, grant that our relatives and friends who have passed from this life may, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of all the saints, come to share your Eternal happiness through Christ our Lord. Amen
Prayers for the deceased for forgiveness and peace 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 Your people who mourn and pray for their dead brother/sister.
Lord Jesus, You alone are holy and compassionate; forgive our brother/sister his/her sins.
By dying You opened the gates of life for those who believe in You; do not let Your brother/sister be parted from You, but by Your glorious power give him/her light, joy, and peace in heaven where You live for ever and ever. Amen.

May he forgive all your sins and set you among those he has chosen.

Prayer for unexpected death
Heavenly Father we know and believe that our times are in Your hands, but Lord it’s so often such a shock to us when a dear loved one meets with a sudden or unexpected death – through an accident or perhaps due to some unforeseen tragedy, which takes the life of someone they loved – long before it would be expected.
Lord, we bring before You today those who are having to go through such a tragic loss and pray that You would be very close to each one that is in mourning today over such a loss – and are perhaps confused or even angry that such a devastating occurrence has overtaken them – without any apparent warning.
You are the God of all comfort Who comforts us in time of need and we pray that for those that are facing such a difficult trial today. Uphold them we pray, and ask that You draw very close to them … raise up we pray, the right people to minister to them and to be a genuine comfort and support at this time of tragedy and grief.
Lord, we don’t understand why our loved ones should suddenly be removed from us through a sudden, unexpected death – but Lord we trust You to soothe away the hurt in time – for shall not the God of all the earth do right…. In Jesus name, we pray,
Amen.
Prayer for deceased parents
O God, Who has commanded us
to honor our father and mother,
have compassion in Thy mercy,
on the souls of my father and mother;
forgive them their sins,
and grant that I may see them
in the joy of eternal brightness.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Prayer after violent death
Father, we bring before You those that have had the devastating experience of having someone close to them that they know and love, suffer a sudden, violent and needless death. Lord how we grieve for those that are having to experience this right now, and we pray that in Your grace You would look down with pity and mercy and meet them right at their point of need.
Lord, You are the one Who was sent to heal the broken-hearted and comfort those that mourn and are heavy-laden. You are the One Who promised that Your grace is sufficient for every eventuality – even for those having to face the sudden and violent death of someone close to them. Draw near to them we pray and lift them up into You arms of love and carry them during this time of suffering and grief for You have promised that underneath are Your everlasting arms.
Lord, as we lift up in prayer those that are having to come to terms with the sudden and violent death of a loved one – we pray that You would use this tragedy to be the thing that starts to draw each suffering soul into the tender arms of their Saviour – the Lord Jesus Christ, in Whose name we pray,
Amen.
Prayer for a deceased brother, relative or friend
You are, O God,
quick to pardon and desire man’s salvation.
In Your goodness we ask You to grant our deceased brothers,
relatives, and friends everlasting happiness.
With the help of Blessed Mary ever Virgin
and all Your saints,
we ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
Prayer to say on the day of a person’s death
O God, Whose property is always to have mercy and to spare, we humbly beseech Thee for the soul of Thy servant N…, which Thou hast this day commanded to depart out of this world, that Thou wouldst not deliver it into the hands of the enemy, nor forget it unto the end, but wouldst command it to be received by the Holy Angels, and conducted to Paradise, its true country; that as in Thee it hath hoped and believed, it may not suffer the pains of hell, but may take possession of eternal joys.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

A Grandmother’s Prayer Submitted By: Ladybeth. Oh Lord, I do not ask for much, Eternal beauty, or youth, or such. Just give me a little hand to hold, And I’ll forget that I’m growing old. I do not ask for cloudless skies, A life that’s free from tears and sighs. Just give me a little face to kiss, And anxious moments will turn to bliss.

What is the dream of a dead grandmother up to 40 days?
- This is normal. To see the deceased in a dream to some changes in real life.
- With a heavy feeling, a person awakens who will see a dead person in a dream, even if it was a recently deceased beloved grandmother. Let consolation be served by the fact that deciphering what the dreamed person dreams of, they unanimously give the opposite interpretation.
Dreams of death, with rare exceptions, contain bright signs of tears, turn into good news, loss of positive changes, a revision of the life position.
The dead are often dreamed of, who are seen alive in a dream. Such a dream gives rise to anxiety and insecurity.
Seeing in a dream a deceased grandmother soon after the funeral, many understand that this is due to the experience of the bitterness of loss. However, we must take into account the following any dream about the deceased grandmother interpreted as the news of the coming changes, the girls dream promises a fast marriage, and the businessmen long-awaited responsible negotiations.
And more, you need to go to church, put a candle, remember your grandmother …
- when the deceased relatives, scenery, dialogues are always different, and the meaning is one, one should remember about their good deeds, that’s all, do not go to the grave, put candles, make fences, look after graves, it’s all not necessary, they become adults minds are completely indifferent where and how they are buried, even processed for fertilizer, it is important for them what memory they have left, whether the people remember them kindly about the word, does anyone swear at them
If the deceased relatives ask for food, a dish to eat, money, water, etc., this desire to work, bring income to relatives in the invisible world, if they give, then bring income, thank you. As our deceased relatives learned from us, income is in the world of adult intelligence, if we work and act conscientiously, they need it, and not the fences and candies on their graves
- She did not even realize that she was dead and her soul was near
- Towards a change of weather
- Perhaps you do not pray for your grandmother, and do not give charity in memory of her?
Read this about what, please:
The connection of the Church on earth with the Church in Heaven. Prayer is the breath of the Church. Prayer for the dead. Communication with the saints. The future destinies of the world and of mankind. Posthumous fate of man.
I hope my grandmother was baptized. And with God all are alive!
You can improve the grave fate of your grandmother if you do not pray for it (it is better to do it every day, in the morning) and from time to time give alms to the poor in memory of the deceased. - Say goodbye, say your reproaches / resentment or wishes.
- to return
- Your grandmother is not used to it yet. Apparently she does not even understand that she died … The dead always say this until they realize they are dead.
Apparently she has a shortage of energy – she came to you to eat … I will not be surprised if someone gets sick in the near future – the granny of your energy ate.
If she was a believer – order her sorokoust for the newly installed in the church.
If it was not, then it’s not necessary.
What did she eat? Soup? However, it does not matter. Bring her to the grave to eat – better white, type of milk, or semolina (without salt !!!!), or rice porridge, it is possible on milk, white bread. Drinking is not very desirable, but if she drank, then you can. White chocolate is also good.
Grandma has a shortage of energy with unaccustomed – there’s a lot of tension with that.
Overfeed it, too, is not worth it – it will be more difficult for it to rise from the ground, that is, go into the astral more subtle. Now it is still between heaven and earth, in purgatory. You remember well.
After 40 days should cease – she will depart. Her Spirit will go to the thin astral, and the lower bodies – astral and mentalka should merge into the egregor of the place (cemetery). If after 40 days does not happen – then it is not rest assured. The burial service is necessary.
