Is it normal that i write eulogies in my head for everyone in my life?

I can't help it. I imagine myself giving a eulogy for someone in my family or close friends. The eulogy is sincere and comes from real feelings of love and/or respect. In my head I can see myself standing in front of the church full of mourners saying all the wonderful things that I think about that person. I usually don't let it go until I have the whole speech finished and sounding exactly the way I want it.

    That's somehow both sweet and morbid at the same time.

    Why do they specifically have to be eulogies? Why does the person have to be dead in order for you to say those things?

      I have no idea. My brain does it automatically.

        Perhaps most of the outpourings of emotion you have seen have been at funerals?

        At least I thought that way after only hearing emotional speeches at funerals myself. Until quite recently actually when I took a good picture of someone I would wonder if it would be good enough to be used as the cover for their funeral flyer. Now I try to think in terms of whether photos would be good for albums and if my funeral speeches could be modified to work in a birthday card for them.

        Basically what you’re doing is normal, but remember there are other times you can celebrate someone.
