God bless you, Starwise. I lost my own beautiful mother just a little over a month ago. With my dad gone some years ago, I know you feel like I do now- at 53 years old, like an orphan. My last earthly link to my ancestors is gone; the one person in the world whom you could always presume would love you unconditionally no matter what, is gone. The loss of a mother is like no other loss.
.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
.
I pray that our Good God comforts and strengthens you in this time of loss and sorrow. May He show you your way in life from here on out, and bless you in all your ways.
.
Fidelis.
Thank you both so much. I’m so grateful for,
and treasure your kind prayers.
