Kadish
Although Jewish Law requires that the Kaddish be recited during the first eleven months following the death of a loved one by prescribed mourners, and on each anniversary of the death the Yahrtzeit, there is no reference, no word even, about death in the prayer!
The theme of Kaddish is, rather, the Greatness of God, Who conducts the entire universe, and especially his most favored creature, each individual human being, with careful supervision. In this prayer, we also pray for peace - from apparently the only One Who can guarantee it - peace between nations, peace between individuals, and peace of mind.
Paradoxically, this is, in fact, the only true comfort in the case of the loss of a loved one. That is, to be able to view the passing of the beloved individual from the perspective that that person's soul was gathered in, so to speak, by the One Who had provided it in the first place.
As Beruriah, the great wife of Rabbi Meir, consoled her husband, upon the death of their two sons, with words to this effect, "A soul is comparable to an object which was given to us - to each individual, to his or her parents and loved ones, to guard and watch over for a limited time. When the time comes for the object to be returned to its rightful owner, should we not be willing to return it? With regard to our sons, let us therefore consider the matter as "The Lord gave, and the Lord took back, may the Name of the Lord be Blessed!"
May His great Name grow exalted and sanctified in the world that He created as He willed.
May He give reign to His kingship in our lifetimes and in our days, and in the lifetimes of the entire Family of Israel, swiftly and soon. Now respond: Amen.
Blessed, praised, glorified, exalted, extolled, mighty, upraised, and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, Blessed is He.
Beyond any blessing and song, praise and consolation that are uttered in the world. Now respond: Amen.
May there be abundant peace from Heaven, and life, upon us and upon all Israel. Now respond: Amen.
He Who makes peace in His heights, may He make peace upon us, and upon all Israel. Now respond: Amen.

Да возвысится и освятится Его великое имя в мире, сотворенном по воле Его.
И да установит он царскую власть свою при жизни вашей, в дни ваши и при жизни всего дома Израиля, вскоре, в ближайшее время, и скажем: Омейн!
Да будет великое имя его благословенно вечно, во веки веков! Да будет благословляемо и восхваляемо, и прославляемо, и возвеличиваемо, и превозносимо, и почитаемо, и воспеваемо имя святого творца, благословен он.
