EULOGY FOR MYSELF

I never thought this day would come but it has, and I’m not sure how I’ll be able
to cope. It's difficult to imagine her not being around anymore. Every tear that
escapes these baby blues represent every wonderful year spent with our
beloved friend, Denessee. She was strong, independent, and self-driven. She
experienced so much disappointment and heartbreak in her short time with us,
yet still had the biggest smile on her face and the greatest spirit to greet you.
She was always there for everyone, so to lose her this way can be difficult to
accept.

There were times when sadness engulfed her in a dark bubble that I was
worried she would never come out. She was too familiar with people who
embrace the darkness when they had lost hope and are too exhausted to put up
a strong front. She whisked away my worries when I saw that she were doing
okay after all. She should’ve known better than think she were going to give up.
I remember her declining the advices I gave. Saying that she'll handle the
problems on her own. Depression is like being sick and wanting to feel better.
But while she try to heal ,she get pushed down by a bully. The bully is in her
mind. And after so many times of being pushed it starts to feel normal. And she
lose all hope of feeling better.

I’ll miss her dearly, but I know this is how life goes. So as we gather here today
to remember and celebrate his life, let us bid him farewell as we mourn the loss
of a lively, dignified soul. A soul that brought laughter and fulfillment to many,
and whose legacy will live on forever.”
