It can be hard for you to know what to say to someone who has lost a parent. It was also hard for me to find the right words to comfort my friend as she grieves her father’s death. I feel she will always be my sister, and I never want her family to stop being a part of mine. My prayers are with you, Kevin. Our father has left us, but he will never leave our hearts.
When someone you love leaves, you feel it in your soul. When someone special is gone, you can’t help but mourn their absence and feel saddened by the loss of their presence. They’ve had an impact on your life that was irreplaceable, as they were unique and one of a kind.
Prayer for a friend who lost her father
If a friend has lost her father, and she’s having trouble coping with what she feels is the end of an era, let her know that there are many people who will love to listen to her talk about him. God is the ultimate listener, and that’s why it’s important for every friend to pray for a friend who lost her father — he heard every prayer; he knows this friend’s pain because he felt it when his own Son died for us on the cross; he knows how much this friend has been through because any parent would have wanted to stay longer in this world if given the choice.

This person is dear to my family; he was one of our favorite people.
The person who is dear to my family was a good friend, a good father, a good brother, and so much more. My family loved him dearly and will miss him immensely.
He was the sort of man who always had warm words for everyone he met—whether they were his closest friends or complete strangers on the streets of our city. He also passed this spirit onto his children; they are kind and loving people too because they learned how to treat others from their father.
The best way we can honor this man’s memory is by continuing in his footsteps: being kind and generous ourselves so that others may also be blessed by our example.
Thank you for the joys he shared with us and for the times we were able to care for him in his distress.
Dear Father, we thank you for the joys that he shared with us and for the times we were able to care for him in his distress. It was a privilege to be a small part of his life, and now we ask that you make him one of your chosen ones in heaven. Please grant him eternal peace and happiness, as well as remove any suffering or regret from his heart. Thank you for this gift of grace, which comes through Christ our Lord! Amen!
You have called him home now, and we know that he is at peace with You.
He has gone home to be with Jesus.
You have called him home now, and we know that he is at peace with You. We believe in Jesus Christ and know that He loves us and gave His life for our sins. We believe that when we die, we will go directly into the presence of God, who loves us more than anyone else could ever love us. When you are in His presence, there will be nothing but peace and comfort in your soul—even if you don’t understand why some things happen here on Earth.
Thank You for being a good Father to all of us who love You so much!
And there is nothing more we could ask for him than that.
And there is nothing more we could ask for him than that. We know he is at peace with you and we are heartbroken to lose our friend, but we are praying that you would help us as we grieve over this loss. Please be very close to his loved ones at this time of loss.
But, still, it hurts us to lose him so suddenly, and to feel the pain that comes from being separated from him by death.
But even with all that said, it still hurts to lose a loved one. To feel the pain of loss is like physical pain: when you are hurt, you can’t just get up and walk away from it. It stays with you until it subsides and then returns again whenever you think about the person who died or remember something they did or said that touched your life in some way.
It’s also like mental pain: when we lose someone close to us, there are so many things we want to say but don’t because they seem too trivial or unimportant compared to their passing away from us now. We know this will happen someday; but when it does happen suddenly—it catches us by surprise!
And lastly, losing someone feels like spiritual pain because death separates us from others without warning; people leave our lives without warning (or at least not always on their own terms). And yet God says He will never leave nor forsake us during those times when we feel most alone!
We are heartbroken and pray that You would help us as we grieve over this loss.
Please pray for our friend as she continues to grieve the loss of her father. We are heartbroken and pray that you would help us as we grieve over this loss.
We ask that you give her peace, comfort, strength, guidance and wisdom during this difficult time. Please heal her pain so that she can find comfort during this painful time in her life. Help us all to feel Your presence with us during this difficult time in our lives.
Be very close to his loved ones at this time of loss, and help them to lean upon Your grace and love.
