Legacy & Last Wishes
‘Has my life had meaning & satisfaction?’
Exploring your life story helps answer this profound question and allows you to compile your legacy and complete what might be left undone. Leaving a legacy allows you to share your story and personal message to your loved ones. This legacy practice often promotes comfort and connectedness among you and your loved ones when facing chronic illness or end-of-life.
Life stories are deeply personalized and can be captured in a multitude of ways. Some examples are:
scrapbook or photo album of a unique ‘final wish’ experience
a video recording of a family cooking your special recipe and eating a meal together
audio recordings of deeper conversations shared over a cup of tea or beside a flowing river
a quilt made from your favourite sweaters or ties
a compilation of your favourite music
tips and tricks “to keep your Harley riding on forever”
Your ‘Legacy’ is your life story captured in a way that is true for you. It is a gift of a lifetime that can be shared and passed along to future generations.
Is there a ‘last wish’ you hope would be fulfilled?
Let’s talk about what this might be and how we will go about fulfilling them. Perhaps it is a final family get away, a flight over the Muskokas in the fall, a meal at the diner close to your childhood home or taking in your favourite sport. Whatever your final wishes are for you and your loved ones, let’s make them happen.
