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. The eulogy allows family and friends to say goodbye to their loved one and acknowledge the gift they shared in being touched by his life.
Funeral homes and the people who work within them help to plan every detail of a person s final arrangements. On the day of the funeral my uncle came and stood by my side as I read the funeral poem and I was so glad that he did, I thought that my heart was going to jump out of my chest, it was pounding that hard. If your family is part of a religious community and the deceased would have wanted a religious service then you can look to your minister, rabbi, or priest to help guide you through making arrangements.
The need to talk is an outlet of letting out all of their feelings about the situation. A feature of successful eulogies is that they will include comment on the positive impact the person had on other people along the way, especially on the speaker and others present at the funeral. Using poetry to help with grief, to express love or pain and to memorialize a friend or family member is very powerful and will be appreciated by others who have experienced a loss.
While overwhelming, it does not need to be confusing. Even though death is a sad event, eulogies should always be written in an uplifting and inspiring manner.
