When a precious loved one has died, you need prayers and empathy. Although being asked to give a eulogy is truly an honor, if you're the one who's been chosen, you may find yourself feeling anxious about the task before you.
A eulogy is usually delivered as a speech at a funeral service. Hopefully you have the love and support of family and friends throughout this painful time. Many times biographical information such as names and dates are the only things that must be verified.
One can also include the persons photograph along with the vocational and personal interests he was involved with when alive. Many families and friends choose to write their own poems or essays about the deceased to have read at memorial services or posted on online memorial sites. They become a reflection of ancestors lives for generations to come.
Grief is not something we can simply set aside. 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.
