Understanding Legacy & The Tools Available To Us
The idea of legacy can manifest in so many ways, and the tools available to us are unique and powerful.
“I don’t want to wait until somebody dies to tell them what I value or what I remember. I want to do it now!”
“I can decide how much of this I want to share with my children and who gets to see this, which I love.”
“And as I sat here speaking, it occurred to me that parts of this video could play at my memorial ceremony, as if I were addressing my community directly.”
These were some of the sentiments shared by Rebecca Crichton, the Executive Director of the NW Center for Creative Aging during her Loving Legacy Video interview. I loved how she wove together her own life story, her culture and family traditions, together with the work she does with elders, talking frequently about death and dying, memory, family, and so much more. A great testament to the power of this work.
