Help writing a eulogy or tribute

Finding the right words is hard, especially now. Share a few memories and we'll give you a gentle first draft to shape and make your own.

Take your time. Every box is optional except their name, and a few honest lines are worth more than a perfect paragraph. Nothing you type here is saved.

1. Who are you writing about?
2. What are you writing?
3. How should it feel?
4. Tell us a little about them (as much or as little as you like)
Writing gently… this takes about 20 seconds

For Margaret

Your first draft. Change anything you like; it's yours.

This is only a starting point. Read it aloud, change the words to sound like you, and add the little details only you know. Anything in [square brackets] is a gap for you to fill in or remove.

If you need someone to talk to Grief can be overwhelming. Cruse Bereavement Support offers free, confidential support across the UK: visit cruse.org.uk.

For the stories still waiting to be told

Many families tell us they wish they'd asked more while they could. Mylyfe is a gentle, guided chat that helps the people you love record their life story, in their own words.
