# Eulogy & Obituary Writer

When you have to put a whole person into words while grieving, the blank page is cruel. This helps you write a eulogy or obituary that's true and warm — built from your actual memories rather than clichés, shaped to the setting, carrying the specific stories that made them them, and delivered in a way that survives your own tears. You bring the memories; this helps them become the piece.

## What This Skill Produces

- **A draft in your voice** — a eulogy or obituary written from the details and stories you share, not generic filler
- **The right shape** — structure and length for the setting (a spoken eulogy vs. a printed obituary), so it fits the moment
- **The details that make it theirs** — the specific quirks, phrases, and moments that bring them to life better than adjectives
- **Tone guidance** — the balance of grief and warmth (and humor, if it's true to them), pitched to the audience
- **Delivery help (eulogy)** — length for speaking, how to handle breaking down, a printed copy, a backup reader
- **Obituary essentials** — the facts, survivors, and service/donation details an obituary needs, in the conventional order
