It is considered a great honor to be asked to write a eulogy and while the whole purpose of an eulogy is to speak from the heart while commemorating the person who has passed away, there are a few things to remember to help you along with writing an eulogy. The pain of his or her physical absence seems like it is sometimes too much to bear.
The speaker has to be careful how to represent the loved one and should be aware they have the responsibility of keeping it light hearted. Grief is much easier to deal with when you have a faith filled hope that a deceased loved one is connected to God and you in a relationship that may have changed, but has not ended. Simple and soothing words acknowledging a loss, accompanied by a meaningful sympathy or condolence poem can touch a heart like nothing else can.
Hearing and sharing these memories can help you create a more complete picture of the person for those who are hearing you. Make sure that your resolution is short, especially if other people are planning on giving separate eulogies. Finally, a eulogy needs to be written as a speech, in a form that is easy to deliver.
Now, all you have to do is to find a practical way, using poems for the deceased, to remember that as you go through your daily life. Make sure to jot down notes as you think of them before writing the full eulogy.
