Lord, it hurts so much. I don't understand why this happened, and I have no words.
You Yourself wept at the tomb of Your friend Lazarus. You know what tears are. So receive my tears as a prayer.
I am not asking for explanations now. I only ask: stay close. Help me get through this day and this night. Send me people who will support me, and give me the strength to accept their help.
Mother of God, who stood beneath the cross, stand beside me. Saint Jude, helper in desperate cases, pray for me. Amen.
Pray together with others
