Hi! I am a college student that is the first person up to give a speech in the morn. Heres my dilema..my speech is on a eulogy. No prob, except, my very most best friend died in a car accident 1 month ago. I have been going thru a lot and am having trouble dealing with her death. She was in the same speech class as me, and so was her fince..who is giving his eulogy over his best friend. Who, was also in class with us, and was killed in the same accident. So, I am doing a eulogy/tribute to her. But, I need to no if anyone has any techniques to amke this assignment easier. My stomach is ion nots thinking bout it. And, I'm still not over her death. But, it wont be the only eulogy done..I also ahve to har the other classmates, including the one of her fince best friend. Right now, I dont want to hear any eulogy, much less stand up in a class where best friand was..and talk botu her death, while facing that empty spot. Someone plz help, I'm an emotional wreck. plz, any thoughts or ideas?

a. Practice before mirror and look as much as possible to your eyes while you give the speech. This will help you to acclimatise.
b. In the class focus on one spot on the back wall of the class while giving the speech.
c. Ask teacher's permission to wait outside before and after your speech.

That's quite difficult, but you must through with it. You're still mourning her death and you'll probably cry in front of your audience. I don't think you would want that. Try telling your eulogy to others that don't her as well or at all --you'll to get those emotions out. It will also prepare you for what you're going to say. It will get you to focus more on the speech than losing her during your speech. I really think you should do it, you feel much better after. Don't dwell on her death, but be proud of her.

first off, im really really sorry about ur friend. u should tell ur teacher that ur shook up. but i guess if its tomorrow its a little too late and he'll just think ur unprepared. if u havent cried since, u def need to. it helps. i'd suggest listening to sad music that will make u cry even more to get it all out. u'll automatically start thinking about all the good times u had together and how amazing she was. this will make u cry twenty times harder and more, but it will be good things to write in ur eulogy and it will make u feel better. crying always helps.

dont think about what happened, think about the good things that you remember, believe it or not, she might be in a better place. she also knows u love her, so cheer up.
