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. By celebrating the person s life, you are exposing your soul and your emotions to family members and strangers alike.
And if cremation is something you choose, they will help you with the details surrounding the process. Don t worry about exposing your emotions. The life history will also talk about any achievements, awards or other good deeds the deceased accomplished.
This part can take the form of a narrative, the way that the person's history did, or several people can get up to talk about their memories of the deceased. You'll only have to speak for five to ten minutes, your gift will live on in the hearts of the deceased's family and friends. If it helps, concentrate on one person in the audience that you know and love and speak to them.
Don't worry if it runs just a bit longer, take a deep breath and try to relax. Grief is not something we can simply set aside.
