You are not only talking about the death of a loved one but also about how that person lived their lives. Although being asked to give a eulogy is truly an honor, if you're the one who's been chosen, you may find yourself feeling anxious about the task before you.
Seeing a life celebrated and hearing words of sympathy and celebration from others often helps them move through their own grief journey. For all human beings grief is the most difficult to face and the loss of someone dear to us is very hard to cope. Writing an obituary is another thing, that can be taken care of in advance.
It is best not to push the bereaved to talk about his lost loved one rather this should be a spontaneous thing. Typically, a eulogy runs around five to ten minutes in length. Noteworthy personal habits and a little humor are usually mixed in with mention of special accomplishments and attractive personality characteristics.
Death is hard to accept but can be made easier by the love extended by people who truly care. In this case, it is incumbent on the family to simply put into motion the decisions already made by their loved one.
