Legacy-making: Navigating through the veil of death and grief
Death, an inevitable facet of life, leaves a profound impact that lingers. Grief, a complex emotional response to loss, permeates existence. Amidst turmoil, the concept of legacy offers solace and continuity.
Legacy-making involves various ways in which individuals and communities strive to preserve the memory and essence of the departed, ensuring their influence endures beyond the bounds of mortality. In this pursuit, individuals find meaning and hope amidst despair, cherishing the enduring impact of those they've lost.
