Writing a poem for parent's funeral can be near impossible, you've just lost one or both of the most loving people in the world and writing a funeral poem is probably going to be impossible. During this traumatic and emotionally overwhelming time, we will also be faced with making the arrangements necessary for funeral services.
It will contain highlights, perhaps about the deceased's schooling and work careers, but definitely something about their families. General poems can be read during the eulogy by the person performing the funeral. Memorial poems are becoming more and more popular to remember a deceased friend some time later after losing a loved one.
If your voice starts to crack, take a deep breath and read slower. The tapestry of their human life is finished and hanging in the living room of God's house. Nonverbal actions are equally important during funerals.
Giving a eulogy is an honor. As hard as it may seem right now, it gets better.
