need help/gramma passed away

[Khrissy78]

Hey all...

Last Saturday my gramma passed away I decided that I want to stand up and say something at the funeral but I have no clue what to say. Do you have any ideas that might help me..or maybe a good website with poems or some scriptures about death...If you have any ideas please let me know...

Thanks and God Bless You All..

hmmm. if it was my case i would first of all thank the Lord for her life in this world and acknowledge that she is in a great place now where there is no more suffering and pain. also thank her for your life and her descendants.
I would suggest you would acknowledge that fact that she was a believer and she knew where she was going. I have never read a funeral speech b4 so i guess that's all i can say but please dont read the same verse that everyone reads at funerals, ask the Lord to give you a special one for your grandma

the best Advice that i can give you is: speak from your heart!!

God bless..

Death is as much a part of life as every single breath that we take. If you are a person that has awareness, then you know that there is no death at all. It is only a notion that describes a physical condition; but as for the soul, it goes to God. And God is in your soul, so she is with you always in your soul because she is with God.

Peace-

khrissy, sorry to hear about your sad loss.

I would think that the best thing to do is to sit down with a paper and pen and just write out words and sentences of what your grandma meant to you, how much you loved her, her isiosyncracies, memories that you have of your times together...i went to a funeral of a friend once, and one of her daughter's spoke about the kind of woman her Mum was, it was deeply moving, more moving than anything that anyone else could have written, because it came from her heart..and because we knew and loved the person who had passed on, we could relate to the words that were spoken about her....i doubt there was a dry eye in the church .

I will pray for you and your family.

God Bless.

Hi Khrissy78

I'm sorry to hear about your sad loss. I would agree with ukok's suggestions about what to include. At my nan's funeral, the vicar talked about my nan's background, her family, her character, idiosyncrasies and her passions, after spending some time interviewing my Dad, my grandad and me. Perhaps talk to few people who knew her before you do your speech, and get an idea about the impressions she left on different people. I miss my nan very much, and I'm glad that I got involved in her funeral, as it commemorated this little woman who had meant so much to her family.

I've said a prayer for you.

God bless and lots of love,

Maharg

Talk about some of the precious memories the two of you had together...for example, the kind things she did for you when you were younger...holidays, special gifts, talks, the times that only a granddaughter and grandmother can share.

I am sorry for your loss and I know its tough. God bless you dear.

You have my sympathies also. Really, I agree with the others. No matter how simple, just share what you have in your heart that is precious memories of your GrandMa and then say how thankful you are to God for Him giving her to you in life. It's always good to be thankful for having had her and telling this to others. It's really nice that you have this opportunity.

Why don't you write a poem of what you feel in your heart.

Talk about the things you loved about her bring up memories that were happy and that made her or the family smile or laugh people need this sort of relief at funerals and I am not going to say what everyone always says when this happens because it doesnt help what does help is to realize she hasnt passed away just moved on to a better place and one day you will see her again and she has a new body and will always be happy and never have another sorrow and she would want the same for you theres a time to mourn but this life is temporary for us all and its just a waiting period before we are reunited again so remember the good things and happy memories and share those stories with others and most important ask the Lord to heal your heart and ask him what you should say.
