Subject: MY very own RECOLLECTIONS - 34/100 1. FATHER - 5 - What disappointments do you think your father suffered in his life, any great sadnesses, or tragedies or regrets, how did he cope with these, did he dwell on them or continue despite the hardship, do you know if he had a strong religious belief, do you believe that he believed in God? or higher Being, did he pray, were there specific religious traditions that he practiced, what religion was he raised in, did he practice that religion, if he changed, do you know the reason for the change, did the others in your family group follow his lead? Did either of your parents convert to marry the other, were there EVER conversations or arguments as a result of this? 2. How and when did your father pass away, were you with him, can you tell about that instance, where is he now buried, can you tell about the wake and funeral, what was that day like, before his death did he speak with you about death and dying, what did he share with you, did he believe in afterlife, do you share his same beliefs about death and mortality, what do you think is the most important thing that you learned from your father, what would you have asked if you had the chance? Do you think that on the whole, your father was successful, what do you think would be his MOST IMPORTANT ACCOMPLISHMENT in life? 3. What was your hardest subject in school?...easiest? Do you still struggle with this particular subject, have you tried all the harder to master it as an adult, do you find that it has held you back in life, or been of no major import, do you think now as an adult that you know WHY you had such a hard time with the HARDEST subject? Do your children have the same struggle with the same subject? Remember...... Write as you speak.... Be yourself.... Write liberally...... Do not worry about technique.... It is the THOUGHT that counts - or thoughts! Write as if it might be the LAST time you can address the question... 32 33 0
