We strive to give our children all that they want and need to live a productive and fulfilling life. When we’re gone, what will they treasure most from us? Our things? Or our words, our blessings, our guidance, our life lessons, our legacy, our love?
Steve Leder, the best-selling author of “For You When I Am Gone”, has helped thousands of people write their ethical wills. In this event sponsored by the Parenting Community and Peace Action Network, Steve will provide some background on the tradition of ethical wills, explain how an ethical will can be a treasure for your children and infuse your own life with meaning, and walk you through the simple steps of creating our own ethical will. You have a legal will and maybe a medical directive; creating an ethical will is simpler, no less important, and far more uplifting.
At the end of the hour with Steve, you will have gained:
• An understanding of an ethical will and why it is a gift your loved ones will treasure more than any other
• Practical, actionable steps to write your own ethical will, if you choose – or to help your parents or loved ones write their ethical will to you -- and steps to add meaning to your own life, in any event
