An Eulogy for a Life Gone Wrong


It can be a difficult task to write an eulogy for someone whose life has not gone as hoped, or has committed suicide. Tried to focus on the good times and those who loved them.

For example: "We remember our beloved as a broken clay pot. She was one of those clay pots and she was broken. While her clay pot was broken by her weaknesses, something was shining through. It was treasure. Please focus on the good memories, when (name) was in a better place. She was a mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, who was taken from this world. I remember when... (things you use to do together, or a story about when the deceased was a child.)

Thank you for coming here to respect my (mom, daughter, sister,)"

Suitable songs; True Colors, by Cindi Lauper or Angel by Sarah McLachlan or The Rose by Bette Midler
