One Unfinished Thing, or One Legacy Message

For one matter or letter your person chooses. Write their words, not yours.

Module 6

Example: Completed Example: One Unfinished Thing, or One Legacy Message

Fictional example. Ruth, who is dying, dictates an unsent letter to her estranged sister. Her friend Ana writes it.

The matter or message I choose; the person it concerns, if anyone
A letter for my sister, Ellen.
The words I want to say or leave; keep my wording
I miss our kitchen conversations, and I am still hurt by what happened.
One step I want help with; who may do it
Ana may write that sentence on paper and read it back once.
What I want left alone, including contact I do not want
No call, visit, or request for forgiveness. Leave the argument unfinished.
Permission to keep or share: with whom, when, and where to keep the message
Ana may keep it in the envelope in my desk. No permission to send or share it.
