my own Eulogy after a cycling accident

I am very sorry to hear about your friend. He and his family will be in my thoughts. I hope you are doing okay.

That's an amazing excerise that you're doing. Your poor wife was probably brought to tears reading that. I don't know if I'd have it in me to write a eulogy about myself as I feel I could go from feeling conceited to selfish to not confident to so many other things in between...and ultimately I think I'd be afraid to have someone read it to everyone after my passing. A few years ago, however, I told one of my friends that I would really like her to do the eulogy at my funeral. This friend is not necessarily my best friend, but we are very close and she knows me very well (she's one of the few people aside from my family that I've lived with), and she is an amazing writer and public speaker, excellent at expressing ideas and capturing a moment with words, and I know she would do a great job at making people laugh, cry, be happy, and have them leave the funeral feeling so much better than they did when they walked in.

It's a heavy thing to think about, though.
