Thinking of you and remembering all the happiness ______ brought to us. He/she will be missed so much This is another eulogy opening that provides a good outcome for your speech. You can continue by describing the happy memories you shared with the person, and close with the memories that will stay with you forever. 16. “Our legacy is really the lives we touch, the inspiration we give, altering someone's plan, if even for a moment, and getting them to think, cry, laugh, argue.” - Carrie Hamilton An intensely powerful book about three women; grandmother, daughter and grandchild, who are bound to each other despite the odds. Become a great reader of books and it will help you with reality, you'll more easily grasp the truth of things and that will set you up for life. Three woman who join together to rent a large space along the beach in Los Angeles for their stores—a gift shop, a bakery, and a bookstore—become fast friends as they each experience the highs, and lows, of love.

Ruth’s conviction that her own failure as a mother has, in effect, caused her daughter’s addiction carries, for her, the force of truth: “[M]y care had equalled what she was living.” This belief amounts to a kind of fallacy, of course. Nevertheless, the certainty, misguided or not, brings passion, abandon even, into Ruth’s voice and her daily existence because it gives her a central role in the story of a daughter who’s pushed her away: Expressing the feelings of loss in a public forum (whether it be on social media or elsewhere) of a loved one who has passed away can be a deeply personal and meaningful way to keep their legacy alive. There are countless ways to honor the memory of someone we've lost, from creating online memorials, to getting a tattoo in their honor. Some people choose to get tattoos featuring images or quotes that remind them of their loved ones, while others prefer wearing meaningful jewelry as a constant reminder of their presence. For some, hosting events in memory of a loved one is the best way to celebrate the person’s life and keep their memory alive. Whatever way you choose to express your remembrance of someone who has passed away, know that it's an important step towards healing. Quotes to remember a loved oneIf you’re giving a eulogy at a Jewish funeral, you could use this excerpt from a Jewish prayer to say, “You’ll always be remembered.” 13. “They say it takes a minute to find something special in a person, an hour to appreciate them, and a day to love them, but it takes an entire lifetime to forget them.” Their smashed-up relationship is counterbalanced by the bond that Ruth and Lily share. Having rescued – pretty much kidnapped, really – her as an infant, Ruth proceeds to raise Lily alone on her part-time teacher’s salary, relying on creativity to make up for her financial limitations. But will Ruth’s faith and devotion be enough – for either of them? My nerves made an idiot of me sometimes, as though they were invested in everything disintegrating.” My sincerest condolences for your terrible loss. I hope you can find a little comfort in the memories you have of ______

it doesn't happen often, but sometimes i come across books that are so well written, so unique, so groundbreaking to me that i'm angry i never thought to do any of what it did in my own writing. this book expanded my ideas of what novels about grief can even do, and rearranged in my head who is allowed to own that grief: the mother, the daughter, the grandmother. it all cycles in and out until you find yourself unsure of who you relate to or feel worse for. i'm including a small excerpt because i would be remiss if i didn't. in this moment in the book, ruth is attending the funeral for a little girl she once taught in school. Little things in everyday life can easily remind you of the one you’ve lost. 6. “Till memory fades and life departs, you live forever in our hearts.”

I would never have found this if not for a friend bringing it to my attention when I sent out a plea during my recent book slump, and she could not have nailed my taste any better. I love stories about mothers and daughters and the intricacies of that very special relationship. Loved and Missed takes it to the next level because it’s the story of a daughter, a mother, and a grandmother. Sometimes I thought the more Eleanor evaded and erased me the more I needed her. There were sharp ambushes when her absence hit me sternly. When I heard torch songs on the car radio—anthems about the seamy side of love, its injustices, misunderstandings, betrayals, the endless waiting—I often pictured her not thinking about me. Neglect your children and they will be obsessed with you for life—I read that once—but what about when they neglected you? And Mary Wollstonecraft, in her 1792 book A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, wrote, ‘It is far better to be often deceived than never to trust; to be disappointed in love, than never to love.’ (Thanks to Daedalus Rex in the comments below for drawing my attention to the Wollstonecraft.) In the memory of someone who touched so many lives and brought such happiness. May they rest in peace
