Answer 1

how terrible you are going through that. you should make like a documentary video of your life, interview yourself or have someone interview you, get some shots of pictures of yourself and good memories, tell them what you will miss about them, tell a story about a memorable day or experience you had together. or you could make like a scrapbook, put pics in it, your favorite inspiring poems, song lyrics or anything that helped you through this tough time. something like that would be nice.... may the rest of your days be filled with love

Answer 2

I'm sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed as terminal. Perhaps you could get a three ringed notebook and fill it with short and happy stories about your life. Right now, I'm writing my memoirs to leave for my family members even though I'm not terminal. Leaving a legacy touches everyone's heart and it can last for generations to come. For example, you could fill those pages with a short story about why you think someone is so special, your happiest memory, tell why you love a certain song, write about a funny dream you had or anything that will let your loved ones know and understand the beautiful person you are on the inside. I'm sure you can think of some wonderful topics to write about so do it and have fun with it. You might even include a few jokes and riddles. Please remember God has healed many people who the doctors said were terminal, but if you're not restored to perfect health you will only be moving to a better neighborhood than any you have on this earth. May He bless you beyond your greatest imagination and give you the peace that only He can give. Please, let me know how this works out for you and if there is some way I can help with this project.

Answer 3

Write them a journal with your every day thoughts such that they can get to know you at a level most of us never get to know somebody. Write down advise for the young one and the wisdom that you learned along the years, such that he can turn to this wisdom and hold it dear to his heart. Know that memories last a lifetime and are the most precious thing. Latch the memories to something physical they can remember whenever they hold, like a token they can keep for a long long time. Something like a stone, or something made from precious metal that can be passed from generation to generation if they so wish, together with the memories.

You are a terrific and great person for doing what you are doing. You are a very lucky person as well for being given the chance to do this. I wish you well.

Keep loving yourself and those around you. Smile :)

Answer 4

You could compile video footage, pictures, music and have a narration of past celebrations and family events onto a DVD so they could watch it. Windows movie maker is free and easy to use or you could have a friend or someone professionally do it for you. Transition from still slides to motion it will capture the essence of a moment in time. Music is heart felt, melodies and lyrics will inspire. Make the video as much about them is it about you.
Make sure that you put it on a DVD that can be read in all it's format. R+R- etc..

Answer 5

You could write everyone a letter with or without a picture of you or one with the both of you and in the letter tell them why they are so special to you. You could make them and give them to a friend to mail them off a few days after you pass. They will get them and be happy to hear from you even though you'll already be in a better place. I know you be ok-trust in the lord and you will make it out of this crazy world and be reunited with your loved ones in the future.Good Luck to you and your family= )

Answer 6

Well, I write a long letter to my kids for each of their birthday, they will get all the letters together when they turn 18.
So for your little guy, you could write letters ahead of time and leave them behind (pick some specific topics that matter to you if you want). Tell him how much you love him and that you will always be with him.
That's what I would do.

Answer 7

so sorry for you.
but here is my suggestion, how about a memory book for each person. You could write a short note or tell a funny story that reminds them of you and include a picture inside. Also, how about leaving each an egraved locket or bracelet or something that they can wear close to them to have you near at all times.
Good luck, will keep you in my prayers.

Answer 8

Well, maybe if you made something for each individual person you care about. Something hand-made would definately be from the heart. I think it would mean a lot to them just having something there that you made.

I don't know what would be a good idea for something to make, but perhaps a scrapbook or something?

Answer 9

If you've got the strength, try keeping a journal. Tell them about who you are now and who you were growing up. Include everything--they'll remember you for the little things you did in life.

Answer 10

The people in your life will miss you when you have moved on. They will miss your wit, your wisdom, and caring words. Why not write or record your feelings for each of them that can be given to them later? It can be as long or as short as you like. Each writing or recording will be personal. For children, you can still be there for them as they grow. They can read your thoughts in years to come. You are the gift.
