funeral blues

There is a growing collection of funeral poems. Presenting a eulogy for a loved one could be the saddest thing and the most difficult public speaking endeavor you could ever experience.

The person delivering the eulogy must show the reasons why the deceased is well loved and will be missed by the people around him. Just sit down and write from your heart. If giving the eulogy is overwhelming to you, remember that while it may seem daunting, there are tips that can help you manage your anxiety and help you provide a service to both the living in their moment of loss and to the one you have lost.

There are numerous memorial service, condolence and sympathy poems written and easily available. Just like when our loved ones are at home with us and spend time in our living room. It is most important to make the obituary personal by reflecting the real person.

Your love for the deceased person will be felt by the people who are listening to your speech. It is a chance to help others begin the transition to a life after the person's passing.
