Have you ever read an obituary or been to a memorial service and been moved by the tributes paid to friends, family, and loved ones? These are some of the most beautiful, thoughtfully articulated messages of gratitude about a person's impact on the lives of their loved ones. Yet, the person whose rich life is being celebrated often doesn't get to hear, enjoy, and cherish their impact. These ruminations along with ongoing conversations with her dear friend Suzanne (who is battling Stage 4 cancer) propelled Lakshmi to write notes of gratitude to ten women who enabled her life as an immigrant. Why Wait for Eulogies chronicles Lakshmi's experience in this journey and her witnessing first-hand how the expression of gratitude spills joy many times over. In doing so, Lakshmi urges people to celebrate love and friendship; to take the time to express gratitude to the people that matter in big ways and small, before it is too late.Why Wait for Eulogies is ultimately a joyful celebration of friendship, love, gratitude, and powerful themes that unite each of us. It is about the power of appreciation to open the door to vulnerable, honest conversations, and the ability for us to generate and spread joy each day

This invaluable anthology is the first and only collection dedicated to the art of the eulogy. For the past several years, Phyllis Theroux has collected the most eloquent and moving writing commemorating a death, assessing a life, or offering solace to the bereaved. Ranging from Thomas Jefferson's magisterial eulogy for George Washington to Anna Quindlen's affectionate memorial for her grandmother; from Helen Keller's words about her dear friend Mark Twain to Adlai Stevenson's about Eleanor Roosevelt, The Book of Eulogies establishes that great eulogies are a celebration of remarkable lives that can illuminate, confirm, inspire, and redirect our own. Theroux has included some of the world's most well-known tributes, such as Pericles' Funeral Oration, Jules Michelet's appreciation of Jeanne d'Arc, Victor Hugo's ringing words on the one hundredth anniversary of Voltaire's death, Cardinal Suenens's eulogy for Pope John XXIII. But most of the eulogized assembled here are eighteenth- to twentieth-century Americans, and the stories of their lives illuminate our history with a particularly intimate light. In Robert Kennedy's extemporaneous remarks upon hearing of the death of Martin Luther King, or Eugene McCarthy's tribute to his friend and colleague, Hubert Humphrey, the values, wisdom, and spirit of both the eulogized and the eulogizer are revealed. The Book of Eulogies is a sourcebook for anyone who must find words of solace, understanding, and inspiration on the occasion of a beloved's death. It is also a treasury of astonishing eloquence, passion, and humanity -- a record of extraordinary lives, seen through the eyes of those who knew and loved them.

Starting With Goodbye written by Lisa Romeo and has been published by University of Nevada Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-05-01 with Biography & Autobiography categories.
Starting with Goodbye begins with loss and ends with love, as a midlife daughter rediscovers her enigmatic father after his death. Lisa has little time for grief, but when her dead dad drops in for “conversations,” his absent presence invites Lisa to examine why the parent she had turned away from in life now holds her spellbound. Lisa reconsiders the affluent upbringing he financed (filled with horses, lavish vacations, bulging closets), and the emotional distance that grew when he retired to Las Vegas and she remained in New Jersey where she and her husband earn moderate incomes. She also confronts death rituals, navigates new family dynamics, while living both in memory and the unfolding moment. In this brutally honest yet compelling portrayal and tribute, Lisa searches for meaning, reconciling the Italian-American father—self-made textile manufacturer who liked newspapers, smoking, Las Vegas craps tables, and solitude—with the complex man she discovers influenced everything, from career choice to spouse. By forging a new father-daughter “relationship,” grief is transformed to hopeful life-affirming redemption. In poignant, often lyrical prose, this powerful, honest book proves that when we dare to love the parent who challenged us most, it’s never too late.

When death strikes words often fail us. This book helps honor ones for whom the alphabet seems inadequate. The first eulogy the author ever heard was for her aunt when she was 12; appalled that the minister knew so little about the deceased he never once mentioned her by name, she became determined that such thoughtlessness and lack of recognition would never happen to anyone she loved in the future. Consequently, she wrote eulogies for her infant son, her mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, father, and various friends and relatives upon their deaths. In this book, she has made it possible to mix-and-match by classifying the entries alphabetically and by occupation or title. Blending humor, scripture, and classic literature, this book provides a full eulogy or seeds for thought so readers can create their own.

"In a age when many adults are not satisfied with how they relate to their parents, 'The Tribute' poses a challenging question: 'Have you ever honored your parents for what they did right?' By the time we reach adulthood, many of us have begun to ignore God's commandment to 'honor your father and your mother.' Although we teach this commandment to our children, we may no longer see its applicability to our own parents. In 'The Tribute,' Dennis Rainey powerfully addresses the importance of honoring your parents. Rainey will take you step-by-step through the process of collecting memories and writing your own tribute, using the examples of dozens of people ho have written theirs and benefited from the experience. Honoring your parents can peel back the veneer and allow families to become vulnerable. God is truly honored as parents and children connect emotionally. 'Honor your father and mother' is a commandment whose times has come. Join Rainey as you praise your parents for the positive qualities and values they passed on to you. The result will be a profound and incredible experience which could be relationship- and life-changing." -- inside cover.

Embracing Life will help you become the best version of yourself. Emeka Anyiam, a licensed marriage and family therapist, focuses on the stages of life as defined by famous ego psychologist Erik Erickson, elaborating on his work by incorporating contemporary issues. The author observes that we tend not to embrace uncomfortable feelings or actions. Instead, we may attempt to suppress those thoughts, feelings, actions, or circumstances that do not fit the image we want to project. While it is easy for us to embrace comforting thoughts, feelings, and specific actions, it is imperative to we also embrace those discomforting thoughts, feelings, and specific actions and those sad circumstances as well. The more you embrace who you are, the more empowered you will be. Join the author as he explores the value of recognizing the whole of who you are—the good and the bad—and how to live the life you were meant to live.
