I find it really difficult to write a proper eulogy. So difficult in fact that for the several ones I've been involved with, I usually leave it to someone else with a seemingly higher degree of emotional intelligence than myself. I just can't seem to separate how their death makes me feel from the uplifting things that a eulogy is supposed to say. Here I am, still wondering what truly matters in life, and so don't believe I even have the right to summarize the value of someone else's. There's a conventional way these things get presented, but my belief in conventional ways is not strong enough. That's why I prefer to let someone else do it. Truth be told, I'd probably use a service like this the next time I needed to write one.



I highly recommend that if you don't have the ability, for whatever reason, to write a eulogy, find someone else who can do it authentically. An authentic and effective eulogy is about emotional connection. If you find yourself unable to write one, admit you cannot write one, and don't turn it over to an ai or even human service - find a human being with an authentic emotional connection to the deceased who can write it instead.

downvoters should at least have the fortitude to respond why they disagree.
