The Easter season can be both beautiful and sad. Grieving over lost family members can be especially difficult during this time. For many people, they feel more sorrow than joy at this time of year.

No matter how long your loved one has been gone, it can be very difficult to cope with this. As much as you miss your loved ones, you find it difficult to feel the joy of Easter and the peace it can bring.

I have found prayer to be one of the most helpful things for me. We should never underestimate the power of prayer. My faith and prayer have helped me through many difficult times, and I don't know where I would be without them.

When I've felt like giving up, I've prayed for peace and strength to keep going. Even in my darkest moments, God was still there.

For that reason, I pray for you-that you will come to know His comfort for your heart. I pray for you during this difficult season.

Dear God, Many are struggling with broken hearts right now, so I pray for comfort. Due to the loss of their loved ones, they cannot experience the joy of this Easter Season.

Our heartfelt gratitude is immeasurable for Your precious son, but we are also hurting and missing those who are no longer here.

It was your promise to be close to the brokenhearted and to help them heal. Our eyes keep wandering away from You because we are struggling to see Your way.

Help us to celebrate our loved ones' lives and remember all the priceless memories they have shared with us during this Easter Season.

Bring us comfort and peace. Let our souls be refreshed. Fill us with Your love and give us hope. Make our sorrows go away and replace them with your joy.

Help us to become Your light that will enable others to find You in the darkness and show us the way to happiness, peace and joy.

Help us to be empowered this Easter season! We pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.
