My brother just died of brain cancer.

53. I am so sorry about your brother - here is what my brother did in the same situation

My sister died in 2003, and my brother was selected to give the eulogy. The rest of the family sat there as he approached the podium wondering what in the world he could possibly say. His talk was very memorable.

He discussed my sister's life, from all the lovely things, the impressive things and the outrageously funny things, as well as the embarrassing. He brought her back to life for a moment by sharing these memories of who she was.

One of the embarrassing things he told the audience was that she loved rock music. When she was a teenager, she played it so loudly the rest of the block could hear it. One day, the deejay at WPGC announced if you live at 9708 Barton Road in ***, could you please turn your radio down. Your neighbors are calling the station and asking us to relay this message to you!

I am sure you have these same fond memories of your brother, and you might consider just writing down those thoughts and sharing them as the eulogy.

Just a suggestion to adhere to your request, and once again, my sympathy to you and your family.

Sam
