A statement, also known as a eulogy or a religious tribute to a deceased person, is not easy for most people to write or think of. Death is never easy, there is nothing to cushion its blow or minimize the pain of it.
Grief is much easier to deal with when you have a faith filled hope that a deceased loved one is connected to God and you in a relationship that may have changed, but has not ended. We learn to cope with the situation at least temporarily. Sometime you find yourself not saying anything at all and that can be even worse than saying the wrong thing.
In the event that you are asked to deliver a eulogy for a person, whom you don't know well, the first thing you should do is speak with friends and family members, if possible. In other cases, it is necessary for the family to arrange funeral burial services on their own. It is most important to make the obituary personal by reflecting the real person.
The eulogist has a chance to ease the pain of others by providing them with a picture of the best things about that person, something they can hold on to in the difficult days to follow. Writing a eulogy should not be taken lightly.
