Chapter one. Death is hard enough as it is. The death of a loved one is one of the most tragic and painful experiences you will have to deal with in your life. It is beyond your control and involves losing a loved one permanently. In other words, you can no longer see and feel them or create more experiences with them. Even if the death of a loved one assures you that they are in a better place, you will still feel extreme pain since you will know that their presence will no longer be felt on earth. What if apart from the pain you experience from losing a loved one permanently? You are also asked to give a funeral eulogy? How can you handle the pain of talking about your experiences with them in front of so many people? How can you give your message during the funeral when you are also grieving? Yes, it is an honor when someone asks you to give a eulogy, but it is also a huge burden, especially if the departed loved one is someone who truly means a lot to you, Whether it is your spouse, partner, child parent, or a close friend or relative, you will surely feel a lump in your throat when you are asked to deliver a speech about them. When I was asked to deliver a eulogy for someone very close to me. I did not know whether I should accept or turn it down. I was so sad about his passing and worried that the extreme sadness I was feeling would only result in me saying the wrong words or not being able to speak at all. It was just too painful and emotional as I felt. His departure from this earth was also a significant loss. On my part. My life will never be the same again because we shared several memories. However, the happy memories we shared convinced me to give the eulogy I wanted to be able to send him off while telling his story to everyone who loved and knew him. I wanted them to know how good of a person he was.
