The idea
Legacy activities create something that represents one's life, such as a scrapbook or letters, and reminiscence therapy improves well-being and reduces death anxiety.
In practice
A mother with terminal illness recording video letters for her children's future birthdays.
Where people slip
Life review and legacy work improve death preparedness and quality of life, and families report more meaning.
