Die Well Death Education: The Importance of Legacy Work In-Person
Session Four: The Importance of Legacy Work: What to Do, and Where to Start - Writing Your Own (or Someone Else’s) Obituary
Legacy work is not about dying and death, it is about life and living; and creating your own legacy for your family, friends, and loved ones. Only YOU can tell your story, expound your personal wisdom, and express your feelings to and about others. It makes sense to start this sooner than later; preferably before you are dying. We will discuss different methods of documenting your legacy, including several prompt questions, etc.
Relying heavily on James R. Hagerty’s book, Yours Truly: An Obituary Writer’s Guide to Telling Your Story, we will discuss tips for telling your own story and preserving your personal history in a meaningful and engaging way in your obituary.
“Whatever your age or health, an inventory of your life so far can help you decide if you’re on the path you intended, and if you aren’t, lead you to another.” – James R. Hagerty
*Individually wrapped, homemade skull cakelets will be provided.
