Pain is one of the hardest things to face in life, and unfortunately this is something that most of us experience in our time. Writing or reading grief poems and funeral poems is something which many find useful to help them complete their journey through the process of mourning.
Placing significant feelings in poetry may be dismissed by many who have attempted such an undertaking as "not for them." However, almost everyone can get something to sit for 15 minutes and reflect on their lives of their loved ones and putting in black and white. Write your life as a celebration, noting key memories and fun times they shared was an emotional and above all a positive experience.
A good starting point when composing your poetry, is to make a longer list of people, places and memories that were particularly special for you and your loved one. You could make lists the following things. For example, special places you liked to visit, special memories, friends and family on special occasions, parties, Christmas, etc.
This list is not extended. Writing about a lost loved one is never easy, because it can provoke many emotions and force you to do with your loss and accept it. But this is part of the mourning process and should not be seen as a bad thing. I hope these tips can help someone who is dealing with, or engages in mourning, to begin to heal. Funeral poems will hopefully inspire many people suffering from a loss to write their poetry about their personal feelings. Some like to do this before the memorial service so that it can use in their reading funeral, while others may prefer to find a previously written funeral poem and use that instead.
Once you have your poem written, is often a good idea to place the poem in a "memory box" or somewhere similar, and open on special occasions like the anniversary of their death.
