Life Review and Ethical Wills – Spiritual Care Basics
Spring 2011

This workshop helps people write their own ethical Wills, wherein they can pass on their morals, values, and experiences to family and friends. These Wills consist of whatever you think is important to pass on to your family and friends after your death ~ some of our residents wrote stories of events which had changed their lives, some wrote messages about what they consider to be the most important things in life, some just wrote to say how grateful they were for the people in their lives. This is a very empowering experience.
