In truth, not many of us ever find ourselves faced with writing a eulogy. Perhaps the best way to start approaching the task of writing a eulogy is to go back to the meaning of the word eulogy, which is derived from Greek words translating broadly as a good word.
When friends and family die, there is a void, an empty feeling that is hard to fill. Choose something which is suits them from your point of view. You need to take this time to share your loss, to laugh and talk and share your thoughts and feelings with each other.
The most common format for a eulogy is to follow through the major life events of the person chronologically, and to highlight distinctive personal incidents and memories. If the person who passed enjoyed the outdoors, maybe a memorial poem with colorful forest or nature-like imagery would speak to the audience, and properly pay tribute to the lost loved one. People should realize through the poem that they lived with a kind soul and great person.
Draft your eulogy then try to edit and polish your work. Even though death is a sad event, eulogies should always be written in an uplifting and inspiring manner.
