Eulogy Options

[HakunaMatata]

During a goals-making workshop a few months back, we were told to close our eyes and imagine a funeral. Turns out we were imagining our own funeral and thinking of what things we wanted said at our funeral. Unfortunately, we won't really be able to choose.

I know it's depressing, but I have thought about who I want to speak at my eulogy, or at least who I expect will.

My brother and one of my best friends, definitely. They know me best, and I trust them to summarize my life with a good balance of subjectivity and objectivity.

I'll write up something and have someone read it for me, haha. I actually don't want anyone to say much. I just want something small. I hate how it's just a get together to mourn kind of thing. And then eating and catching up later. I don't want any of that.

^ Same here. Now that I tink about it, I have no clue who could speak , since I'm a quiet person. I keep the truth to myself. Whoever spoke would pretty much say things they "thought" they knew about me, but it wouldn't actually be the complete truth. Now it makes me wonder what they would actually say anyway.

Hmm.....

Until now, I didn't really think of what'd they say, weirdly enough. Sure, I trust that they will say what's best, but it scares me that maybe they won't know me at all.

Thanks for scaring me, Toya!

Would you, really? That reminds me of a friend of mine who's actually sort of begun planning it. She has a playlist of songs that she wants for her funeral as a safeguard to someone picking something that she doesn't like.
