My step mum died..

[yetwig]

It's been 3 weeks, my dad's in bits as you can imagine. Her funeral is in 2 days and he's asked if I can say something, I dealy loved her and she looked after us like we were her own flesh and blood but I'm just no good with words and worry I would mess it up. She was only 60 a very short illness took her, lung cancer that had spread to her lympth nodes, 4 weeks in total from being told 😟 we were very close and she was their for me when my ex walked out on me and when I had an accident and needed help, washing my hair ect, very loving and caring, loved her dogs ( Yorkshire Terriers) or the rats, as she called them. Loved her drink and of cause my dad very much but I just don't know how to say that, without it sounding funny?

Any ideas appreciated x

I’m very sorry for your loss OP.

What you’ve written here sounds lovely, really heartfelt. She sounds like a really lovely woman. My advice is not to overthink it. Don’t worry about ‘doing her justice’. Speak from the heart. Everyone there will be on your side. It doesn’t matter if what you say is short and sweet. You clearly loved her and everyone will feel that.

Best of luck x

I think what you’ve written is lovely. Can you take it with you on a piece of paper if you might be emotional on the day? I’m sorry for your loss x

Agree with Rystall

Or could you find a poem or reading that reflects what you’d like to say?

Sorry for your loss xx
