Nine Nights of Comfort
Scripture, hymns and prayer for the nine nights.
“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”MATTHEW 5:4
In many Caribbean families, the days after a death are not spent alone. In Jamaica, family and friends gather for Nine Night. In Haiti, families keep nine nights of prayer that close with the dènye priyè, the last prayer. Every family keeps these nights its own way. This guide offers one Scripture, one hymn, one prayer and one simple family moment for each night, centered on the hope we have in Jesus. Use what helps. 🕯️

Grief can feel unbearable. If you or someone in the family is thinking about not wanting to live, please reach out right away: call or text 988 (US), 119 in Jamaica, or 3114 in France, or go to the nearest emergency room. In Haiti, please reach out to a pastor, a doctor or someone you trust today. You don’t have to carry this alone.
