Legacy Matters to Individuals
As we move from one part of life into another, whether by choice or circumstance, we often find ourselves asking:
Have I lived my life’s purpose?
Is there more for me to become?
- What value have I created in my life that will be meaningful to another?
- Do my loved ones know what has mattered most to me and how I want to be remembered?
Being able to talk about these questions with others can have a dramatic impact on how well we navigate the inevitable changes that come with any life transition, particularly as we age.
Legacy Matters in Organizations
In healthcare settings, faith-based organizations and churches, community centers, and senior living centers, concerns about end of life matters are prompting important conversations around the quality of our lives and what we will leave behind.
Giving your constituents a safe space to talk about what’s going on in their lives, to tell their stories without fear of being judged or corrected, can support life changes that lead to better health and well-being.
One of the great health threats of our time is loneliness and isolation. Studies have shown that people who feel lonely and isolated are 3-5 times more likely to die prematurely.
