I think most people writing poetry or writing about poetry, has their own concept of what should be, what shouldn t be, what is, what is not: you know, our own little world of poetry. Losing a loved one is always hard, whether you have had to deal with loss before or not, so don't try to be a rock, take the time to grieve.
When you are assigned an analytical essay about a poem in an English class, the goal of the assignment is usually to argue a specific thesis about the poem, using your analysis of specific elements in the poem and how those elements relate to each other to support your thesis. If you were very close to the person who died and you are expected to stand up in church or at the graveside to recite a poem, make sure that you have a supporter. The love poems you read might inspire you further.
If you know the person very well and you would like to write it in your own words about that person, you could do that too. Opening up your feelings in poems may be a scary idea for some people. This is a celebration of your loved ones life, you shouldn't feel that it is necessary to find poems which are too morbid, if you want something up beat and cheerful then do it.
Poetry can do amazing things. A Valentine Day personalized poem is always so special and unique.
