Blessing for Mourning the Death of a Much Loved Animal

Art by Mike Cockrill

From the collection of Bert Salter Estate 



Blessed Holy Wholeness
Breath of the Universe 
Breathing us in
Breathing us out. 

Remembering us
Remembering our companions
Who let us love them with a full and pure heart
And who loved us back the same way. 
Amen

We were blessed to have them 
As  long as we did
And though I am really sad that they are gone,
I am really glad that they were here. 
Amen

I give thanks to the Holy Connector,
The One-ness that is eternal,
Which I experienced 
Through my sweet beasts. 
Amen

Brucha HaShleimot
Ruach ha Olam,
Breathing us in
Breathing us out.

We remember them,
We mourn their loss
And their memories are a blessing. 
And let us say, Amen
