Journal Prompts: Being Remembered

Write up the following for yourself.

  1. Your tombstone inscription.
  2. Your obituary.
  3. A eulogy given at your funeral.
  4. A reminiscence of you by someone five years after your death.
  5. A speech given because something is being named after you.

For the last one think broadly. Many things can be named after someone: a room, building, or park; a library endowment, scholarship, prize, or event; an organization or job title; a species or breed, mineral, celestial body, or scientific principle. What would you want to have named for you? What would make you feel especially seen and appreciated?
