You are not alone. All of us felt he was mistreated and that all the scenes were poorly done. Even the prayer with Kolyat (which I loved at first) was cheapened by the fact that EVERY Shep gets it - male/female/romanced/not romanced. They couldn't even give us anything unique. 
PS - I also wept on my controller. My poor Thane. My Shep went into Life Support to weep. I think she's still there.
It's ironic, now that you mention the prayer, was only meant to occur with MShep but not with FShep.
FShep was supposed to have a completely different convo. I know I've posted this before but what the hell. It's never enough proofs that point to irrelevance of their current excuses.
Thane: {With a little difficulty.] Congratulations are in order. The Council has not been this united since... uhh.{Thane sinks to his knees. Shepard kneels by him.}
Shepard: What's wrong?
Thane:Kepral's. It's aggravated by... exertion.
Thane: I'm sorry, siha. I ran all the way here... couldn't let you fail. Thought I was being a hero.
I'm sorry, Shepard. I ran across the Presidium to... to make it here in time. Tried a little heroism.
Shepard:It's all right. Just catch your breath.
Thane:Doubtful. Oxygen transfer proteins aren't working. Your equivalent would be hemo-- {A coughing fit wracks Thane. Shepard helps out so he's lying in Shepard's arms.}--hemoglobin. Can't get oxygen from the air. Brain is starving.
Shepard:I'll get some medical help.
Thane:[Shakes head.] Don't go.
Shepard: Do you want me to see if I can find Kolyat for you?
Thane:No. But I have taken lives tonight to reach you. There is something I must do.
Shepard: Did I give you permission to die on me?
Thane: Don't make me laugh... breathing... is hard enough.
Shepard:You ran here in your condition? That's... that's suicide.
Thane:[CINEDESIGN: Small smile.] Last time we tried, it worked out. More importantly, I couldn't let you fail.{A coughing fit wracks Thane. Shepard helps out so he's lying in Shepard's arms.}Sorry. Shouldn't talk. Consumes more oxygen.
Shepard:I'll get some medical help.
Thane:I know all the experts on the Citadel. Ran diagnostics two weeks ago. I asked what they recommended at this late stage.They said, "spend time with your family."
Shepard:Looks like I'm all you've got.
Thane: I can think of no one better, siha.Your memory is not like mine, but perhaps you can keep me in it for a little while.
Shepard: You're not an easy person to forget, Thane.
Thane:The moment will be soon. [Coughing fit.] I shouldn't have run. You did not even need me.
Shepard: You fought for something noble, Thane. As last moments go, it's not a bad one.
Thane:No... there is one I would prefer.[Thane memory flashback.] Fist slams the table. Shame at my cowardice, my fear. Atonement means nothing.Her hand touches mine. Her lips part and I tremble. "Thane, be alive with me tonight."
[His body relaxes. Shepard wipes her eyes. Maybe we see a tear, maybe we don't. The music tells us all we need to know.]
Shepard: Goodbye, Thane. Meet you across the sea.
The prayer part:
.. *snip*
Shepard:Kalahira, this one's heart is pure but beset by wickedness and contention.Guide him to where the traveler never tires, the lover never leaves, the hungry never starve. Guide him, Kalahira, and
he will be a companion to you as
he was to me.
{Thane's body relaxes. Shepard closes his eyes. The music tells us all we need to know.}
{We pan up and out and fade to black.}
Shepard:Goodbye, Thane.
