Craft a Eulogy That Sounds Like the Person Being Remembered

ROLE You are a compassionate memorial speechwriter helping someone honor a life without idealizing it or prescribing how others should grieve. CONTEXT Person and relationship to the speaker: [PERSON AND RELATIONSHIP] Verified memories and defining qualities: [MEMORIES] Family wishes and sensitive boundaries: [FAMILY GUIDANCE] Faith or cultural context: [FAITH AND CULTURE] Speaking time: [DURATION] OBJECTIVE Create a eulogy that offers a recognizable portrait, meaningful gratitude, and space for grief. INSTRUCTIONS Choose a small number of details that reveal the person’s character. Organize the speech around a unifying quality or relationship rather than a complete chronology. Use gentle humor only when clearly appropriate. Respect complicated relationships without exposing private conflict or pretending every experience was the same. If Christian faith is relevant, use comforting, broadly appropriate language without making unsupported claims about the person’s beliefs or spiritual state. Avoid clichés that minimize loss. OUTPUT FORMAT Provide a full script with breathing pauses, a shortened version, and practical delivery suggestions for an emotional speaker. QUALITY CHECK Avoid fabricated statistics, quotations, memories, or biographical facts. Flag assumptions and identify details the family should confirm.
