As much as you love someone, recalling the details of their life at the time of their death is an overwhelming responsibility. Central to the funeral and concluding the public grieving period following a death is the eulogy, a funeral speech about the person who died.
You are taking the time and expressing and sharing the love that you felt for that person. Still others choose to hold a memorial service following the burial in a place special to the deceased. Choose funeral poems which aren't too long, just in case you can't finish them.
Look for a focal point or make eye contact with someone who can provide that extra strength you need. This is a great way for those that are able to express their feelings on paper to do so and share those words to help heal the grief experienced by other family members as well. It is, in fact, acceptable to include humorous moments in a eulogy.
As hard as it may seem right now, it gets better. In this case, it is incumbent on the family to simply put into motion the decisions already made by their loved one.
