"From the East, guide their heart with wisdom.
From the South, surround their spirit with love and joy.
From the West, grant peace as they fulfill their hopes and dreams.
From the North, let the ancestors welcome them among the people."

I would like to preface this by saying that this post is not about seeking sympathy. However, I deeply appreciate anyone who shares their thoughts, prayers, and condolences. I felt compelled to share this interpretation of The Four Directions Prayer to honor my grandmother and to wish her peace as she finds her way on the path she is now traveling.
