I was impressed by a recent TEDx event called “The Energy of Eulogy”, given by a fellow coach, speaker, writer, and all-around magnetic individual. She described the power behind a eulogy as well as the message it leaves about the deceased. She challenged us as an audience to contemplate our own eulogies as the process defines how and who we will be.
I reflected on the eulogies of two recently deceased loved ones and the celebratory note of each of them. Yes, I was grieving intensely and missing them dearly but the pure joy I felt at the realization of their impact on the world was deep and consuming.
