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. A eulogy is a speech written to be read at funerals, to commemorate the memory of a departed one.
As much as the poem is written as a tribute to the deceased, it should also be considered as a reassurance to the living. It's a good idea to turn to your church for help. And if you feel that the grief may overtake you, ask a friend or a family member to stand in and read your eulogy.
When it's time to make the speech, no matter how you deliver it in the end, the important thing to remember is that it will leave the love in the hearts of all the people who attend the funeral. You only have one chance to collect everyone s memories. We leave the dark and dim home of our mother's womb to discover a new home in a brighter, wider world.
Don't worry if it runs just a bit longer, take a deep breath and try to relax. Think about your life and what would you like most remembered.
