In Heartfelt Goodbye: How to Write and Deliver the Eulogy Your Loved One Deserves he walks the reader step by step through the process of honoring their departed loved one in a simple and caring manner. Rule’s inspiration for the how-to manual came from putting together the eulogy for his mother, who died in 2022. After the service, attendees suggested that what he wrote would be a useful template for others who have faced a loss, so Rule put together this concise manual.
