Obituaries have a bad rap: morbid little articles that sum up your life when you die. But what if we used obituaries as a tool to shift how we choose to live?
Thanks for this Niki! I have a work in progress about writing an obituary because it is such a daunting thing, and a duty that is typically thrust on the unprepared! But then there are people who have pre-written their obituaries. I used to think that was really odd but I now see it as a favor to the family who will be left scrambling with another task in a stressful time.
Awesome to hear you're working on your own! And it's a neat way to gain some perspective on your own life along the way. It's definitely hard for family to crank out something as personal and meaningful as an obituary while they're in the throes of grief.
This is a profound idea! I actually think about it from time to time, but have never tried to write it out.
I mean, just by thinking about it, that's a lot more than most folks!
