How to write an Euology

A eulogy is a speech that honors and celebrates the life of the deceased, typically given by a family member, friend, or celebrant at a funeral service. Although not universal, eulogies are common in many cultures and religions and can be written and delivered in various styles, from formal to personal. Writing a eulogy can be challenging, but it can also serve as a part of the healing process.

When writing a eulogy, it's crucial to write from the heart and express personal feelings. It's essential to remember that you don't have to do it alone and that there are resources available to help you, such as old photos, letters, or memorabilia. Going for a walk around the deceased's house or garden may also trigger memories and ideas, and talking to relatives and friends is an excellent way to remember things.

The most important thing is to write from your heart and express what it means the most to you.
