A prayer when your pet has died

WHEN YOUR PET HAS DIED

Lord God and Father of all,

I thank you for the gift of life you gave

my friend and companion.

I thank you that you know how much

I am missing them. I know you

understand my loss, pain,

and sense of bereavement now that they have gone.

Thank you for their liveliness

and brightness, and for their company.

Thank you for the memories I have

and for the many years of happiness

my friend brought me.

If there were a heaven for pets,

I believe my friend would be there now.

Please comfort me in my loss.

Amen.
