This is perhaps one of the most difficult moments in one's life. Whether you decide to deliver a serious speech or to concentrate on more humorous anecdotes, write down some notes to help you remember.
When you are grieving, it is normal that your thoughts are about death, but remember it is about celebrating a life lived as well. Even so, it does not have to be looked upon as a daunting task. Many aspects of modern society have programmed people to think that death is the end of everything.
I was asked by a couple of family members if I had given any thought to having someone by my side during the reading of my funeral poems for mom, to be quite honest, I didn't have a clue why I would need anyone there. This is a great way for those that are able to express their feelings on paper to do so and share those words to help heal the grief experienced by other family members as well. Poems ranging from heartfelt and sad to lighthearted and even funny have been written by amateur and professional poetry writers to put words to the feelings that are expressed after someone has died.
Draft your eulogy then try to edit and polish your work. Funeral services are meant to celebrate the lives of lost love ones.
