A lot of people choose to read passages from the Bible rather than a poem because they think that this is more appropriate. Public speaking does not come easy, but delivering an eulogy you have written may be the most difficult task you have taken upon yourself to do.
Services are really about love. Here are a few helpful tips which may assist you in choosing the right poems and they may also help the readers of those poems. Writing an obituary is often helpful when someone close has died or may be dying.
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. We leave the dark and dim home of our mother's womb to discover a new home in a brighter, wider world. Eulogies are meant to convey the reasons the deceased will be missed and how much he was loved.
The eulogist has a chance to ease the pain of others by providing them with a picture of the best things about that person, something they can hold on to in the difficult days to follow. Above all, remember to breathe.
