My brother lost his battle with cancer this morning I have a lot of things I want to say but I am not much of a writer, and need help putting it down on paper. Please help.Write the truth and the good things he did. I know you want it to be perfect but I'm sure everyone will understand if its not, after all your going through a tough time. Good lock and I'm sorry for your loss.wow, my heart goes out to you during this difficult time. Maybe start by jotting down some of your favorite memories of your brother...starting in your childhood and working your way to the present. It might be an easier way to get started than looking at the whole eulogy. It might also give you ideas on how you want to structure it.
Good luck- I'll hold a good thought for you.I'm sorry for the loss of your brother. I lost my dad last September. I had to write the eulogy and obituary for him. Begin writing down what comes to your mind over the next few days. Then go thru it and condense it down to make it manageable. The memories and the love are all there, once you begin, it will be easy.I'm sorry for your loss. We at Y! answers can't answer this question unless we know what kind of guy he was. Generally, the things that he loved to do, the things you loved to do together, the kind of person he was, and who he left behind are the things you say. I'll write a brief one for my bro- since I know we've all gotta go at some point better to be prepared.
Chris was always a good natured gentle person. I remember one day we were out at the cottage, the one in Michigan, and the crazy guy had a bumble bee land on his arm. I'm terrified of bees and thought he'd freak out as I would have- but no, he puts his finger up to the bee and it crawls on his finger. Then to make matters worse he proceeds to PET the bee. I thought for sure it would sting him, but it just sat there while my brother gently stroked it's back. The bee flew away, gracelessly. It made me think of something my brother told me, " bees defy aerodynamics." To build a plane with a body three times the mass of it's wings would never fly, but somehow bumble bees fly. That was Chris for you- always the teacher. As I looked at him watching the bee as it flew away I stood in pure awe. I asked him, Did it sting you? He said , "Naw, bees are more scared of you then you are of them. It's when you thrash around and swat at them that you get stung. Wouldn't you want to sting someone who was trashing and swatting at you?" His quick wit, and scholarly humor are things that made Chris who he was. Chris, I'll miss you bro!You don't have to be a great writer. Say what you need to say in your own words, and you'll feel much better. Your voice will be heard with more meaning than in a crafted work. That's just my own opinion, of course.
I'm very sorry for your loss.write about the facts: where he was born, when he lived...etc.
Also write about what he meant to you...Just speak from your heart. Share a great moment that you had with him, express how you feel, how your brother made you feel. Say you love him and you will miss him and how sorry you feel that he is gone.
Sorry for your loss, a sibling is the absolute hardest person to lose.I am so very sorry. How sad for you and your family. You have to know that your brother is no longer suffering and that he's at peace. Just talk about his life. Ask family members for help. Together you can come up with something really beautiful. It should come from the heart.Write about all the good times you had and about things he loved to do and what he was like. Just write whatever comes to mind when you think of him.
I'm so sorry for you loss.You're doing good writing so far. I had to do the same thing six years ago when my brother died from a heart defect at age 37. Just stick to plain talk and focus on who your brother was and what he meant to you.I am very sorry for your loss.
Giving a eulogy for a loved one is not easy. I wrote one for my brother to give when our mother died.
I say start with some facts- Bob. He loved (subjects- racing, baseball, etc.) You can be funny without being thoughtless by saying -
He never really liked Brussels sprouts. Even when mom disguised them in mash potatoes, he still found them. I'll never look at mashed potatoes the same way again.
Add some stories that you share together- did you share a bedroom and stay up late at night listening to the radio or talking? Was he shy or outgoing? How did he fight the cancer?
You can thank everyone for their love and support. It doesn't have to be long. If you know of a poem or a few lines from a movie that he liked, include those, too.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
