I had to write a Eulogy: I Hope This Task Never Repeats
I’ve done a lot of things in my life. I’ve traveled the world, I’ve done just about every thrill-seeking activity there is, and I’ve raised three children. I thought I could conquer just about every task there was by that point. Then, I was asked to write a eulogy for a friend. It quickly became the most difficult task I’d ever attempted. I had so many questions about what was appropriate, what was expected, and what was proper. The family couldn’t help much; they were incredibly busy with funeral preparations and travel plans and whatnot. It took me a long time, but I finally completed it. I honestly hope I never have to do anything like it again!
