Remembering someone special in a personal way can be healing for everyone concerned, for a eulogy is a deeply personal way of saying goodbye. Something they know would make the deceased proud to hear of.
In case that makes you nervous or uncomfortable, practice in front of a mirror. You could look upon a eulogy as a funeral oration or tribute, but I rather like the idea of seeing as an opportunity to put in a good word for the loved one being honored. The rest of the eulogy can be based on wonderful memories and personal experiences, shared with the deceased.
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. Eulogies can take a chronological approach, where the eulogist traces the person's life in the order in which it happened. Nonverbal actions are equally important during funerals.
Grieving is normal as it forms part of our complex emotions as human beings. Draft your eulogy then try to edit and polish your work.
