You may wish to write your own words. Nonetheless, at times like this, it may seem impossible to express your feelings on paper – don’t worry, I can help you to do this.
Alternatively, you may find it easier to use comforting words from a poem or reading. The process of finding just the right words can seem a little daunting. However, by listening to your thoughts and ideas, I will be able to guide you, providing suggestions from the comprehensive collection of readings and poetry which I have amassed over the years.
Music can evoke the widest range of emotions. Just a few bars from a certain song can take you back to a place in time in a way that the written word never can. You may wish to choose one of your loved one’s favourites; a thought-provoking piece of music, or even a piece to make you smile. You can have the choice of recorded music or perhaps live musicians or singers.
