Hi I’m Laura D Pusey, author of My Life’s Tapestry.
This workbook is designed to open conversations that help people to plan for the preferred experience toward the conclusion of their lives.
The thought of our death, or that of those we love is not easy to navigate, in truth it’s easier to shrink away from the topic so I would like to thank you for taking this time to gather your insights and life experiences, inner wishes and desires for the end of life experience.
Together we will work through 9 modules that will help us to create a future picture that not only helps us to verbalise, visualise and tweak the future image, it will also help our loved ones to speak with medical and funeral professionals with confidence so that the highest efforts are made to ensure our comfort, care, respect and treatment as we face our final days.
In truth none of us know when that time might come, whenever you come to this course though, is the best time. Work your way through it, you might find that you leave it weeks between each module, that’s fine. What matters is that you complete it.
If you have a copy of My Life’s Tapestry you may be following along with your book, if not, I strongly suggest you buy a beautiful journal and make your notes. Alternatively you might find it easier to record your notes on a voice recorder or video.
Tell someone what you are doing. It’s necessary because those who matter to you need to know what you want in advance and where they can find your instructions.
Ideally you would work through My Life’s Tapestry with family members or friends. Those closest to you may just be more comfortable knowing your inner thoughts or the emotions behind your answers so that they have a true understanding of the person you are and what really matters to you.
This project is not easy, it takes a lot of thought and perhaps some soul searching. You may find that you have some stuff in the past that needs to be addressed.
As I said, take it slow. If you leap into this course you may get overwhelmed.
Watch each video through to the end, and then go back and watch it again, with the intention of answering each question. Hit that pause button as you watch the video so that you can think about your answers to the many questions.
Again I congratulate you for taking this all important step. If you would like to work through this book with me, or a Tapestry Guide, contact me via email laura@dipism.com.
Okay, let’s get into it.
