A friend shared this with me. Not written by either him or me but by John O'Donohue. It helps me. It might help you too.
May you be blessed in the holy names
Who without you knowing it
Help to carry and lighten your pain
May you know serenity
When you are called
To enter the house of suffering
May a window of light always surprise you
May you be granted the wisdom
To avoid false resistance
When suffering knocks on the door of your life
May you glimpse it's eventual gifts
May you be able to receive the fruits of suffering
May memory bless and protect you
With the hard earned light of past travail.
To remind you that you have survived before
And though the darkness now is deep
You will soon see the approaching light
May the grace of time heal your wounds
May you know that though the storm might rage
Not a hair of your head will be harmed
