Prepare Your Eulogy Speech With Confidence
Who does not know that death of beloved ones creates a void in our lives
? However, the most challenging time comes when in the death funeral you are asked to deliver a eulogy speech in the loving memory of the deceased. After losing a close one, your emotional condition is quite understandable, but do you really want to lose the last chance of showing your respect to the deceased? If you dont, then calm down your nerves, take the steering of your emotion and head back to the memory lane when you spent some fond times with your loved one who is no more in your life.
Compose Eulogy Speech:
You want to bring back the deceased through your
Eulogy speech, right? Remember, writing the eulogy is a time-consuming affair and can test your forbearance too. Therefore, before penning down your thoughts, just take a seat in your couch, close your eyes, and walk through your memory lane.
Fundamentals of a Eulogy:
When you have articulated your thoughts, it is time to know some basic rules of the eulogy speech.
Rule No. 1: There is no rule of writing eulogy! The only important aspect of the writing is to make it organized and highlight the positive aspects of the person.
Rule No.2: Remember, your eulogy is just an effort to share some of the lovely memories of the deceased. The motto is not to make people more mournful. They should cry while listening to your speech and that cry should come together a smile on their face. Do not try to mock or demean the person, as the audience will never forgive you for that.
Rule No. 3: It can also happen that while writing the eulogy speech, you can run out of ideas. Relax and take some more time to think and then again start writing. You can also flip through your old albums or can ask other members or friends to share their fond memories with you.
Rule No. 4: Reference of age, date of birth, career related info can be there in your speech but concentrate more on emotional aspects than on factual. His or her exceptional achievements can also find place in your writing and also share some untold stories of the passed
Rule No. 5: You can finish your eulogy speech with reciting a favorite poem or singing a favorite song of the deceased.
Remember, these rules are not sacrosanct. In case, you have better ideas, add them but whatever you write, never forget to practice that before the finale. Be confident and see how the audience becomes enthralled by your eulogy speech.
