Dang Darin, that is DEEP! I'm gonna have to really think on that one!
Emily, a Eulogy is a summary of your life, usually read at your funeral.

Emily,
Let me help you out a bit but let me explain the reason for this. I was looking back into some recovery tools and ran across a project on this subject. In group we were ask to think real hard about our life up until that(this)very point and if we had passed away what whould be said at the funeral. Of course our loved ones would find only the best things to say about us but the task here is to get honest with ones self...a true asset to ones recovery. As for mine eulogy, being as though I started the post I wanted others to have first go at it. So take your time and just think real hard about your life up until this very moment, the good, bad and all. Paint the most honest portrait of yourself as you would want to be remembered. Hope this helps.

I am going to have to get in on this one I do believe just need a few to ponder my thoughts. Great idea!!!!!!!! Gotta love ya.Cris
Darin I remember this one from rehab. That was so difficult to do then because we all basically were so ashamed, and all we (group) could really do then was think of the awful things we did. The lesson I perceived it to be was we better shape up because all we could write was about our faults.
Hmmm mine now about myself? First off I'd do one like you see in the newspaper. Bryn Jones, mother of -----, devoted daughter of----, beloved sister of -----, and -----, cherished aunt of ---, and ----, and ----.
See that says alot. I didn't say I was devoted, cherished, beloved in front of my daughter's name. My guilt still eats at me, and although in my heart I know I was an excellent mom pre drugs, and am trying my extreme best now post drugs I don't feel worthy, and I can't bring myself to forgive me as a mother or to believe she will ever get over what I did. Otherwise I know I'm definately devoted to my mom. My siblings are the best, and my nephews have never stopped loving me or forgot all I have done for them.
O.K. otherwise as a spoken eulogy I'd say this: Bryn was a loyal, and trusted friend. We never saw her without a smile on her face or stopping to say a kind word to someone. She was encouraging to friends, and family, but could not do so for herself. She didn't love her as we've loved her. We'll never forget the human kindness she handed out from her heart, and will miss her smile.

Okay I'm gonna wing it...
Of course the usual familial beginning. She was a loving and warm person. Always reaching out to help and touch other's lives. She faced extreme adversity and found God who gave her inner strength to deal with it and surpass it. Though she had problems, she began to share her experience with others, and once again became a loving, devoted, wife and mother. She was a good person with a big heart, sometimes that got her into trouble, or caused her to not be with her family. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends and those that learned from her life.
Maybe not the best, but without telling the newspaper or those that weren't aware that you were a drug addict (which I think would go over like a turd in a punchbowl) I think it would be fitting.

Hey Robbie! How are you doing today? I wasn't sure what to write, as you can see it took me almost a full day to come up with something. With this I don't think there is any wrong way to do it. Good luck, and I will look forward to seeing yours.

I would leave this world feeling worth-while if mine read: Corrinne leaves this world surrvied by her daughter Brittany who can go forward in this life knowing without a doubt she was loved and will carry forth her mother's heart to pass onto her own children.
The biggest joys and the biggest hurts in my life have all been brought on by motherhood...when I go, that's what I want to be remembered for most...her mom.

Very beautiful Corrinne!
Janet(That's Janet with a W) said: I don't think there is any wrong way to do it.
That's the idea! There is no right or wrong way to do this.....as long as it is done with the utmost honesty and delivered from the heart....that's all it requires!
Robbie, When I first did this it was presented to us to challange us to be honest about our lives....good, bad, or otherwise. I remember when we did it in group and I will tell you friends...the emotion in that room would have floored the hardest man. Along with the tears, there was laughter because life is a beautiful struggle. So take your time and when you have come up with the most honest portrait of yourself to date, come back to it. Hope you are having a great day/evening.
