Perhaps The Most Important Words You’ll Ever Say are Just 7 Days Away
In one week, I’ll be launching my new book: “I Want to Say a Few Words: How to Craft a Heartfelt Eulogy for a Loved One’s Funeral.”
This step-by-step guide takes the fear out of writing and delivering a eulogy, making the process simple and manageable for anyone.
As the launch day approaches, I wanted to share more about why this book matters and how it will help you or someone you care about.
The Daunting Task of Eulogy Writing
Few life events are more painful than the loss of a loved one. When the time comes to memorialize them, most people are unprepared to sum up their legacy eloquently in a eulogy.
For many, it’s enormously daunting:
- Where do I even start to describe their lifetime?
- What details should I include?
- How can I express my grief?
- Will I get emotional and not make it through?
The thought of speaking genuinely from the heart seems impossible. So we avoid thinking about it, hoping inspiration strikes when we have to.
That's why I wrote this book.

A Clear Plan From First Word to Final Farewell
Drawing from my experience as a professional eulogy writer and celebrant, “I Want to Say a Few Words” provides a clear roadmap to write and deliver an authentic, meaningful eulogy.
It simplifies the process into four straightforward stages:

- Drafting your eulogy
- Editing your eulogy
- Rehearsing your delivery
Interactive worksheets walk you through every step. You'll know exactly what to write and how to structure it for maximum impact.
The book delves into:
- Uncovering your loved one’s personality and values
- Crafting your memories into “mini-stories”
- Structuring your eulogy for memorability
- Polishing your words to sound natural when spoken
- Rehearsal strategies to settle nerves and speak effectively
You’ll end up with a eulogy that movingly expresses your love, tells their story, and shares their legacy.
Eulogy Writing Can Be Healing
My deepest hope is that “I Want to Say a Few Words” helps make a challenging time just a little easier for those grappling with loss. If that’s possible at all.
But I’ve learned something else from my years of experience writing eulogies: the process itself can be tremendously healing.
Many who poured their heart into writing a eulogy found it therapeutic. Though painful reliving memories, it also brought them joy and comfort. Their words honored someone irreplaceable.
So whether you need to write a eulogy next week or next year, this book will provide solace and guidance when the time comes.

No one makes it through life without losing someone they love. When that painful day arrives, you want to be ready.
