Losing a mother is an odyssey of the heart that reshapes our world in profound ways. Today, we share with you a constellation of prayers from across faith traditions, offering solace. We traverse the Christian faith, with its embrace of God's grace, to the serene acceptance of life's impermanence found in Taoist wisdom. Next, we extend our hands to the comforting words of the Aztecs, the Cherokee's blessings, and the Jewish articulation of communal sorrow. We also witness the Buddhist philosophy on impermanence, Hindu supplications for relief from grief, and the Memorare's invocation of the Virgin Mary's aid, culminating with a prayer from Islam that seeks steadfast guidance and compassion.
