Sinéad O’Connor shared a prayer for “suffering” just six weeks before her unexpected death.<br /><br />The “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer fired off a tweet on June 6 that linked to a video of the Hawaiian ho’oponopono, which is the “most powerful guided meditation for healing, forgiveness and self love,” according to its description.<br /><br />“‘This is dedicated to the many upon whom I have in my life so far brought suffering and is also, with love, for anyone who has in their lives so far brought suffering upon me,'” she tweeted, which is a direct quote taken from the prayer.<br /><br />Another loaded line from the meditation states, “For everything I do not like in my present life, I’m sorry. Forgive me. I love you. I’m grateful.”<br /><br />The Irish music legend died Wednesday, though no cause of death was given. She was 56.<br /><br />“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad,” the late singer’s family confirmed in a statement.<br /><br />Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.”<br /><br />O’Connor’s death comes a year after the death of her 17-year-old son, Shane, who took his own life in January 2022 after escaping suicide watch at an Irish hospital.<br /><br />The “This Is the Day” songstress canceled all of her performances in June 2022 for her “health and well-being,” though no specific issues were ever shared.<br /><br />Thank you to Sinéad’s friends and fans whose support and understanding we hold in the highest esteem throughout this period,” said a statement at the time.<br /><br />“The love being shown has been a source of great comfort and peace for Sinéad.”<br /><br />She is survived by her three other children: Jake, 36, daughter Roisin, 27, and son Yeshua, 16.
