Question: Why Write A Book On Eulogy Writing?
Answer: Because of ‘The Phrase.’
Frequently, I find myself invited into people’s homes, or into their lives through a screen. My role is to help them during a time of deep sadness when someone they love has died.
A funeral is being planned. They will need some words about the person they love to be said at that funeral service.
The air in the room is as heavy with the scent of fresh flowers as it is with the uncertainty of what happens next.
I look around me. I’ve seen the same scene hundreds of times before. Digital messages replace most person-to-person communication today. But handwritten sympathy cards fill shelves, window ledges and bookcases. Each simple message bringing comfort and care through ink on paper rather than text on a screen.
And then I hear the phrase.
It’s a phrase filled with many emotions—sadness and loss, gratitude, perhaps some guilt, adoration, but above all, love.
Hundreds of times I’ve heard the phrase, ‘I want to say a few words at the funeral.’ Then it seems always followed by, but.
Where do I even start in describing their lifetime?
What details should I include?
How can I express my grief?
Will I get emotional and not make it through?
I Want to Say a Few Words: How to Craft a Heartfelt Eulogy for a Loved One’s Funeral is a step-by-step guide. It takes some of the fear out of writing and delivering a eulogy. The process is simple and manageable for anyone.
