Coping With Grief
Losing a loved one is one of the hardest experiences a person can go through. The pain and sense of loss can be overwhelming, and it can be difficult to know how to cope. However, there are some things that can help.
First, it's important to allow yourself to feel your emotions. Don't try to bottle them up or push them away. Recognise that it's normal and healthy to cry, to be angry, or to feel numb. Secondly, try to find healthy outlets for your emotions. Writing in a journal, talking to friends or family members, or participating in activities that make you feel good can all help you to work through your grief.
Thirdly, reaching out to friends and family for support can also be helpful. Talking about your feelings and sharing memories can remind you that you’re not alone. Finally, don't hesitate to seek professional help if you're finding it difficult to cope.

Writing A Eulogy
Giving a eulogy for a loved one is both an honour and a privilege. It's an opportunity to share precious memories, offer words of comfort and support to those who are grieving, and to say a personal farewell.
When you're asked to give a eulogy, it's important to keep your audience in mind. Think about what would be most helpful and comforting for them to hear. It's also important to be mindful of your tone. A eulogy is not the time for negativity or blame, but rather a time to focus on the positive aspects of your loved one's life.
If you're struggling with what to say, ask others who were close to the deceased for input. It can be helpful to hear stories and memories from different people. And finally, be sure to practise your eulogy out loud. This will help you get a sense of how long it will take, and it will also help you to make any necessary adjustments.
Giving a eulogy is a moving experience and, with careful thought and preparation, it can also be a healing one.
