Creating a eulogy is an art form, it cannot be defined as the summing up of someones life. Beautiful tributes do include details of a life, their personality, their joys and their loves. They bring back fond memories and highlight achievement. They expresses sadness, empathy and a sense of what is lost, but more than that, good eulogies celebrate life, give hope, comfort and condolence but most all honor that special person and show what they meant to you.
Well crafted eulogies are positive, everyone has made mistakes, but it is about reminding us of the beauty of life and bing thankful for it. If there are things that cannot be overlooked then a well written eulogy will always see something good in it. Beautiful eulogies are, above all else, respectful.
Eulogy writing is always difficult. It is a painful time and many people although they can reflect and remember, find it hard to train those thoughts into a coherent piece of writing. A eulogy should contain biographical detail, express sorrow and celebrate life.
The stress and trauma of losing someone you are close to can takes its toll on everyone, and when given the honor of delivering a eulogy sometimes you are just lost for words.
