Module 4
Welcome back, thank you for continuing your journey with us as you remember the ones you’ve lost.
One way to honour your loved one’s life is to continue the good that they put into the world. It could be the values they imparted to you, or a commitment they have to making their family/community/world better.
You can be part of their legacy.
Begin thinking of a forwarding action that you can do in their memory.
Reflect on these in your journal, or discuss with your family and friends:
Reflection
-
What did you learn from your loved one?
-
What are you most grateful for?

Come up with a group tribute in their memory.
-
What did your loved one care about?
-
What does this person’s legacy inspire you to do?
-
