How to Write Eulogies for Friends

Writing a eulogy for a friend may be one of the hardest things to do – especially when you will be writing for the celebration of a dear friend’s life (your best friend). You probably got that revolting feeling that however you will write it or whatever you will include in this piece will not suffice to justify or truly describe his personhood. However, you could also be caught in a realization that you are one of the best persons who can talk about him.

Then perhaps you should consider talking about the kind of friendship that you both have – the way that your friendship is different from others. This can be a smart way of digressing from describing him as a person (in his entirety).

Talk about Why Your Friendship is Different

In this regard, you may include specific moments that you shared. You may let people have a glimpse of particular exchange in a given situation. For example, talk about his physical and verbal reaction when you disagreed on what movie to watch or what restaurant you will meet blind date.

Include also those moments when you bit by bit realized who this person was becoming to you and when you feel he was expressing words meant to show how important you were becoming to him.

Talk about his friendship being unique in this world. Tell your listeners there can no one be like him – even though you would like to find another one like him. Talk about the truth that such friendship can never be experienced and cherished again – because there is none like his friendship.

Talk about How He’d Changed You

You are writing a eulogy for a friend who had a direct, positive impact in your life – he must have caused you to change one way or another. It is also saying that you became a different person when he came to your life. He was added into your own life and therefore something in you changed at that wonderful moment.

And you know for sure that you are now doing this task of writing because you are in a good position to tell people about the very first moment you were introduced, the succeeding meetings, the development of trust between you and the sharing of lives that eventually took place.

The nice thing about this change in you is: that you will never go back to the way it was before even if he is now is about to leave you. Those moments will carry on having their positive impacts in your life forever.

For this matter also, you may include showing your listeners how it became a two-way process: He changed you and you saw him also changing because of you! Oh! How beautiful.

Few find true friends in their lifetime and so they should be cherished when they come. Friends – real friends – they should be treasured whether they going away or will happen to stay with you for the longest of time. Show that you skillfully know this through writing a eulogy for a friend. Find more articles on writing eulogies at Your Tribute.
