Initially, each subject was roughly 75-450 pages and was taken from journals dated between 1974-2016. After careful editing, I have chosen excerpts that best capture my thoughts, feelings, conversations, encounters, memories, dreams, travel adventures, and more. I hope that sharing some of my life lessons, values, beliefs, hopes, and dreams in this book will prove valuable to others. Besides the journal entries in Living and Leaving My Legacy, Vol. ll, the book also has reflections after each chapter. These reflections are based on thoughts, feelings, and memories that surfaced from reading these excerpts. Following my reflections are journal prompts on each subject and blank pages on which one may write, should they be inspired by the prompts or something they've read in the chapter.
Merle R. Saferstein trains hospice staff and volunteers showing them ways to help patients leave their legacies, and works closely with the patients at the end of their lives doing sacred legacy work. For many years, she has volunteered at a camp for children who experienced the death of a family member—helping them gain important tools, including journaling, to cope with their grief. Merle also conducts an all-day parent session at these camps. In addition, Merle facilitates a writing for wellness group at Gilda’s Club for women impacted by cancer. She is also currently involved in Wisdom of the Century, a project that interviews individuals ninety years old and older.
Merle has facilitated a weekly journaling circle since April 2020, at the start of the pandemic. She is a council member of the International Association for Journal Writing, is the author of Room 732, a short story collection that pays homage to the historic Hollywood Beach Hotel and a B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree, and is a contributor to the Huffington Post, Medium, Authority Magazine, Women Writers, Women’s Books, and Thrive Global. As a pioneer in the field of legacy journaling, her chapter on the subject appears in The Great Book of Journaling: How Journal Writing Can Support a Life of Wellness, Creativity, Meaning and Purpose.
