Part of life is death, and unfortunately in our lifetime we will all be faced with the death of a loved one. Losing a family member or close friend can be devastating and can have a lasting effect on all who knew the person who has passed.
Generally, the attendees do not want to give additional grief to those affected, hence the tendency is to keep quiet and simply extend their support silently. Here are a few helpful tips which may assist you in choosing the right poems and they may also help the readers of those poems. Simple and soothing words acknowledging a loss, accompanied by a meaningful sympathy or condolence poem can touch a heart like nothing else can.
This is all very hard to do in the little amount of time you are actually giving the speech. If more than one person is delivering a eulogy, coordinate with them so both approaches are used. If you are asked to speak at a memorial or funeral service and are having a difficult time writing down how this loss has made you or the family feel, consider including a poem in your tribute.
It should be written and delivered from the heart. As hard as it may seem right now, it gets better.
