Write Eulogy, Write Now
Speaking at a funeral can be very unnerving especially if you are grieving. It is one thing to stand and speak before an audience. It is an entirely different story to give tribute to someone you love while you try to keep yourself from emotionally falling apart. The best way to get through this trying experience is to come prepared. Your funeral speech is important - do not wing it. Plan what you will say but do not leave the words in your head. Write. Eulogy that is written and can be read during the occasion can help you regain your control during moments when your emotion threatens to get the best of you.
The best eulogy you can deliver is the one that you yourself write. Eulogy of this kind should be personal but forthright, warm but concise. Through words, you can narrate snippets of a life. Do not be afraid to tell a funny story about the person who died. A funeral is already a sad occasion; it should not be a miserable one as well. When you get people to laugh during your eulogy, you help bring a ray of joy into a time of grief and sorrow.
