Preparing a eulogy for a loved one could be a daunting task. Regardless if the eulogy is about a loved one, a co-worker, a friend, while you are grieving the last thing you desire to do is stand up in front of a group of people you may or may not know and bare your soul, emotions and your grief.
Like all particulars of the funeral the music should reflect the individual personality of the deceased. 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. For those of us that do, the notice is usually short, and the task must be done under the stresses of coping with the loss of someone very special to us.
Eulogies are not necessarily meant to be a chronological history of a person's life. Focus your writings on what the deceased did during their lifetimes, and not on the sadness of their death. Some people actually find it easier to stick to a theme, during the writing process, making it a bit easier for the words to flow.
Think about your life and what would you like most remembered. It is a wonderful idea to include any major achievements that occurred during the person's lifetime.
