I’ve appreciated reading about the ethical will–it’s a new concept to me, although I’ve thought many times about how to impart my thoughts and conclusions about the world and life in general to my children. I provided a tape recorder to my grandmother and later to my mother and asked for them each to talk though any memories that they wanted to share, but this was not extremely successful, I think because of the unstructured approach. Many of us have already carried through with preparation of a medical living will in order to transmit wishes to our survivors, and I think that’s very important, too. But the ethical will can be a much more personal statement about anything important. One’s survivors can use it in any way that makes sense to them and seems to be a great way to have a continued impact in the lives of our loved ones.

I thought that your Ethical Will book looked very interesting. I have never seen anything of its kind. My mother has been working on telling us about the history of her family and her life experiences – via talking tapes. She has made over 41 tapes so far, which will take a LOT of time to listen to and edit. This book looks like a wonderful way to actually put my mother’s work on paper, in that it offers direction. I think this book would also be a wonderful resource for retirement hotels, assisted living facilities and nursing homes, also community centers and adult education programs, all of which often offer classes about how seniors can leave a written legacy for their descendants.

I’m not sure what my legacy is. But I would like my loved ones to know and understand family values. As family is very important to me. Being there for each other, spending time together and never growing apart.
