Writing a meaningful obituary through grief

Writing an obituary while grieving is its own kind of impossible. You sit down with the keyboard and the words just refuse to come.

This is a different approach: start with one true sentence, then build outward. The video walks through a small set of prompts that bypass the writer-block and produce something that actually sounds like the person you lost.

The Vigils obituary editor has these same prompts built in, with a religion-aware template for tone.
