Strengthen Family Bonds: Creating Personal Legacy Messages for Loved Ones with Susan Turnbull
Planning for the future and keeping family values and stories alive are important for strengthening the family bond. This isn't just about who gets what after someone passes away. These days, it's also about sharing personal feelings and experiences. One way to do this is through ethical wills. These are old, but they're becoming popular again. They're a great way to share life lessons, personal values, and feelings with the next generations. They're not about money or possessions, but about sharing personal wisdom and family stories.
Susan Turnbull is the founder of Personal Legacy Advisors. She helps people create ethical wills and develop their personal legacy through writing letters, recordings, and conversations. An ethical will allows one to pass on intangible aspects of their life like values, stories, feelings and reflections to loved ones. In this episode, Susan and Anna talk about creating ethical wills, preserving family stories, developing aging plans with care options, and strengthening family relationships through personal legacy messages.
Quotes:
By consciously focusing on transmitting wisdom and important values, individuals can leave a lasting and meaningful imprint that extends far beyond material possessions or physical achievements. This focus on passing down wisdom can create a sense of continuity and belonging, linking generations through shared knowledge and experiences. This unbroken chain forms part of our identity and heritage, linking us to our past and future and offering a foundation for future generations.
