Sometimes writing hurts but needs to be done,

Sometimes writing hurts and should be avoided.  Period

Writing a Eulogy can be a painful experience. When you loose a family member, a loved one or a friend, most often there has been no time to reconcile yourself to the loss. It is difficult to write objectively and share the joy and love these people have brought into your life.

The pressure of wanting to do right by them and their family can cause the writer untold agony, but it is a tremendous opportunity to learn how this person influenced others and how they improved their world. It is an opportunity to help others with closure as you listen to their stories to glean that inside information.

Preparing the material to use will bring back many memories, and speaking with others who loved them will provide you with endless opportunities to share who they were, what they accomplished in their life time and what they will be remembered for. It is an opportunity that allows you to share the best of the best with the world as you gather memories from others.

If you are approached to write a eulogy, even though it may hurt, remember this is a privilege awarded to you. Handle with care.

Sometimes regrets make writing that eulogy painful and difficult and it might prove a wise idea to choose someone to else write it for you. This is a time when loved ones are hurting and vulnerable, if you have any reservations for whatever reason, decline gracefully.

Writing an Obituary is often difficult in many ways. You have not had enough time to come to terms with the loss of a loved one. You are forced to remember other loved ones who have passed as you write that small article which will live on after them stating who they were, where they came from and who they are related to.

You may have to ask some delicate questions, help decide who to include or not and run into some genealogy questions that cannot be answered.

Writing an obituary provides notification who has passed away, where services are being held and when. Even these details can be painful to those closest to the deceased, but it can be a labour of love.

Writing a good obituary will ensure your loved one is remembered for years to come and will provide useful information for those who come after them. It is worth every effort to make this final and lasting salutation as accurate and enlightening as possible.

Writing a Will, while it may not hurt at the time, the thought of leaving your loved ones behind often saddens.

Writing your will is not something you like to do, but you need to. It is one of life’s necessities, and requires much thought to doing it right.

I think often the more you have to leave the more painful it can be. Not for you, and not for those you wish to leave it to, but because you know there are those who are greedy who will fight, argue and even go so far as to legally create issues. Even more reason to take on the task and get yours done. If you haven't yet, please consider doing so.

Writing a living will is just as painful and something else you need to consider carefully. I don't just mean for those who reach a certain advanced age either. I think it's important to have one written as soon as you can do so legally. Someone needs to know what you want in the event of a tragedy.

Writing your will(s) is not the same as writing a eulogy or an obituary. You should seek professional legal assistance in my opinion. But that's just me.

Sometimes writing hurts others

• Gossip
• Rumors
• Slander
• Hate material
• Anything that can be considered an invasion of privacy

Avoid these. Period.
