Frequently asked questions

  • There is no one way to write a eulogy. That’s why I work with you one-on-one, listening attentively to the subtle ways you speak and describe your loved one and your loss. The stories of the lives of those closest to us are the most important ones we’ll ever have to narrate. There is no timeline for grief, and no guidebook for processing the depth of difficulty in our living and lost relationships. But I believe that time spent honouring them in words is an investment you’ll never regret.

  • My personal belief is we shouldn’t try to stop ourselves feeling our grief as we speak. However, working with me as your eulogy writer I can support you to pace your speech, take your time, and prepare for the possibility for being overwhelmed and also how you might cope with that.

  • You might be stuck with a blank page asking, what’s the best first line for a eulogy? Crafting a well-written speech that captures a whole life is a daunting task. It requires a deep understanding of the speaker and, most importantly, how they wish to honour their loss. This is where a skilled speechwriter can make all the difference.

Would you like to honour your loved one? To celebrate their life through a beautiful tribute written by a professional writer? I would love to help you. Please take a look around my site, or if you’d like a free no commitment chat you can do so right here. 

Let’s walk through this together

I believe that in loss, we find meaning. It’s a profound process. To reflect and carefully consider how to remember someone. I don’t shy away from that. I offer here to be your witness. We can walk through the complicated emotional landscape together. Slowly and mindfully collating precious information. Then we can weave a heartfelt, humourous tribute that captures the life of your lost loved one.

“Each person's grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed. That doesn't mean needing someone to try to lessen it or reframe it for them. The need is for someone to be fully present to the magnitude of their loss without trying to point out the silver lining.”

― David Kessler, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief
