I am so sorry to hear about your loss. By speaking at your mother-in-law's memorial service, it sounds like you have great strength! I'm sure people will be comforted by your words, and touched by your relationship with her. Best of luck to you and blessings.
I too, would agree to speak at a memorial service for a loved one. I would consider it an honor to be able to give tribute to their life, and would want to try my best to do them justice, and to represent the thoughts and feelings of all who gather for it. It's so hard to loose someone you love, but it can be therapeutic to talk about it. I think it might be one of the hardest things to actually stand up and speak in the moment, but that afterward, it will be something that will never be regretted or forgotten, only appreciated.

you really hit the nail on the head with the thoughts about it being therapeutic. One of the grandsons said a few paragraphs, and I am sure in his old age he will be proud that he was able to give the tribute.
