Even reading funeral poems for someone close can be a very hard and traumatic experience, although this is one thing that I'm glad I did. It's important to take steps to reduce additional stress and avoid health problems due to stress.
Personal experiences are expected to be re told and reminisced, and to be shared with other people who will be listening. The right memorial service poetry can really set the mood for the whole ceremony. Others might just read it during the wake or some may even refuse to share the composition to the crowd.
You should confer with the deceased person s other family members so that you can verify as to the exact age, important dates and places, and other personal data that you need to include in the eulogy. Focus your writings on what the deceased did during their lifetimes, and not on the sadness of their death. If you are asked to speak at a memorial or funeral service and are having a difficult time writing down how this loss has made you or the family feel, consider including a poem in your tribute.
Grief is not something we can simply set aside. Draft your eulogy then try to edit and polish your work.
