Nothing Left Unsaid: Creating a Healing Legacy with Final Words and Letters

Primary Author: Mary Polce-Lynch, Randolph-Macon College

Rituals exist to settle estates and bequeath material possessions after people die, but there isn't a ritual for making sure that nothing is left unsaid to loved ones. Messages of love, forgiveness, life lessons, hopes, and personal legacy can prevent regret during the grieving process and bring meaning to life in the present.

This resource assists people in writing two types of personal legacies: 1) Final Words written to loved ones before a person's death, and; 2) Legacy Letters written to loved ones approaching the end of their life due to age, illness, or going into harm's way. Both rituals create a different kind of inheritance to ensure that nothing is left unsaid.
