Beachbum1 Posted Saturday at 12:03 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:03 AM For Yom Kippur, a prayer for a pet that has passed away: When a beloved pet passes away, many of us struggle with the loss of a dear, loving presence, the loss of companionship and a true friend. Optional language appears in [brackets], including a request for forgiveness if the pet needed to be euthanized. Blanks are for including the pet’s name and the type of pet. Other choices are shown with a slash (“/”). Passing of a Beloved Pet In sorrow and love I/We remember ______________ (pet’s name) Our beloved __________ (type of pet: dog, cat, etc.) Who provided [years of] companionship And endless joy. You were more than a pet to me/us, Becoming a member of my/our family, Providing consolation in times of loss, Giving me/us laughter and delight And a sense of well-being, Rich with memories, Rich in love. The pain is deep. The empty space, Too wide to comprehend. [Forgive me/us, dear ______________ (pet’s name), For my/our decision to remove you from The suffering you endured. We/I did it with deep sorrow Placing kindness for you above My/Our desire for more time together.] Grant me/us find solace in the days ahead, And peace of mind as time passes. Let my/our memories of the time/years together With ______________ (pet’s name) Be an endless source of wonder In tribute to his/her memory. Rest in peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
