Hello, I would like to say a few words at my mom’s funeral service. I did not do so at my dads funeral because I did not think I could even make it through my first sentence before becoming a puddle on the floor. For those of you who had to do this, was it easier than you thought, or are there any tricks to try and hold it together? I am wondering if once I get up there, instinct will kick in and it won’t be a problem. Sorry if I don’t reply to what you have to say, but I will read all advice and am appreciative of it.
I find that when I have to give a speech and remain unemotional, banana banana, if I say a random word over and over again in my head between sentences, banana banana, I am able to distract my brain from emotions, banana banana.
