Speech writing can be daunting at the best of times, but when you are in the midst of grieving process, it can be extremely difficult to compose yourself enough to write a eulogy worthy of your loved one. The level of emotion and grief in conjunction with the enormous details upon which to be decided can result in even greater turmoil.
Some people opt for giving a serious speech about accomplishments achieved by the deceased in their lifetime, while others can decide to take on a more humorous tone remembering the fun times, the good memories and the laughter shared. Standing up in front of so many of her friends and family to say the final goodbye's helped me to finally accept that she'd gone, even though it was the hardest thing I'd ever had to do in my life. Appropriate humorous anecdotes may be interjected to lighten up the feeling of the audience.
One should devote some time in coming up with a well written eulogy. Composing the obituary has to be carefully done as it needs to appear few days prior to the memorial service. If you have any doubt about a particular story you'd like to share, get the honest opinion of someone else who is close to the family.
Ultimately, the most important thing is to reflect the unique personality of the deceased. Giving a eulogy is an honor.
