sorry for your loss. I have been asked several times to do this and it is an honor, to put their life and how they have changed your life and others lives into words. It is a piece that will live on, that people will refer back to while remembering the person.

1
Describe when and why you are writing the poem. Explain where you, the author, are now and why you are looking back. Depict your relationship with the deceased. Pastoral references, like portraying the author and departed one as shepherds, are commonly used in an elegy as metaphors for the relationship.
2
Explain how the person died and express not just grief, but anger and astonishment that the person has passed. Include the cause of the death. Let the means of death inspire the poem's imagery; for example, if the person drowned, incorporate the sea as a character or symbol.
3
Include attempts to deny the reality of the person's death or resurrect the person. Eventually accept of the unavoidably of the loss.
4
Reflect on how the person's death has impacted the world. Ask how the world can go on without this person. Imagine what this person could have contributed that will never be fulfilled.
5
Meditate on the nature and inevitability of death within the cycle of life. Conclude the elegy with a degree of comfort and reassurance in the certainty of how life progresses and a hope of the afterlife.
