Writing a Meaningful Letter to a Loved One


Listen Later

When someone is nearing the end of life, the idea of leaving behind a “goodbye” or legacy letter can feel meaningful, but also overwhelming. What do you say? How do you start? In this episode, Dr. Delia offers a gentle guide to writing a letter that captures your love, gratitude, and wisdom without the pressure to be perfect.

You’ll learn:

  • Why legacy letters matter so deeply for both the writer and the reader
  • Simple tips to make the process less overwhelming
  • Ten powerful prompts to spark your writing — from sharing what you’ve cherished in your life to what you love most about your person

Whether you’re a patient, a caregiver, or simply someone who wants to capture your story for those you love, this episode will help you find the right words.
