A Prayer to the Goddess of Healing

Oh Goddess of Healing,

Someone is in pain.
Someone is missing a loved one.
Someone is having to learn to live without,
And is adjusting to a new way of life.

We can feel the pain of those we know
As they suffer through it.
We hope to offer them peace:
A hug, a shoulder, an ear.

Oh Goddess of Healing,
Bless those that hurt,
That are mourning a lost one;
Give them that hope, that hug,
That shoulder, that ear.

Let them look around and in themselves
And find you, your hope, your strength.
Let them find you in their friends and family,
And in us, their community.
