Eulogy Speeches: Use A Story To Help You Get Started
by Tom Antion
So you "have" to do a eulogy speech... or maybe you "want" to
get a chance to express in public all the deep feelings you have
for your loved one who has passed away.
Yes, I know it's a tough time to write a eulogy speech or
anything else for that matter. Yes, I know you're probably
distraught and having a hard time focusing. That's OK. I'm going
to give you an easy tip to get going. Where do you start?
One of the best elements to include in a eulogy is a story about
you and an interaction you had with the deceased. Your eulogy
story could be funny or heart-wrenching. In fact, a mixture of
both in the same story is great, or you could do one of each.
There is no law that states you can only tell one story.
Your eulogy could start with a story about how you met your
loved one, or maybe you could talk about your earliest
remembrance of them when you were a child. You could talk about
a really great life lesson you learned from them and how it has
helped you in your life.
Another great thing about using eulogy speech stories is that
you don't have to read or memorize your words because you lived
the experience.
All you have to do is make a brief bullet point in your notes
that would say something like, "Tell farm story", or whatever
will briefly remind you of the story you want to tell.
There are many other points you need to know about writing a
eulogy speech, but using a story to help you get started will
take away some of the pressure in creating a great tribute to
your loved one.
