W105 | Writing a Legacy Letter | Jay Sherwin
Online
|
A
legacy letter (also called an “ethical will”) is a written document that allows
you to share your life lessons, express your values, and transmit your
blessings to future generations. A legacy letter is shorter than a memoir,
typically just a few pages. Writing one is a rewarding experience that creates
an enduring gift for family and friends. This course includes discussion and
brief writing exercises to help participants examine their life history,
explore their values and capture important insights. It offers advice,
encouragement and a model structure to help participants draft and complete their
own legacy letter.
