Write it for meGrandchildren are often asked to speak because they see a different side of a grandparent — the patient, playful, unhurried side. That perspective is exactly what the family wants to hear.
What to talk about
- Something you always did together
- A lesson they taught you without saying it
- What their house smelled or sounded like
- How they talked about their own life and history
Include the whole family
If there are many grandchildren, ask a few cousins for one memory each and weave them in. It turns your eulogy into a gift from all of you.
Example opening
