My closest friend from college is dying and we've been talking about what she wants people to remember about her life, but I'm realizing that what she thinks her legacy should be doesn't match what I think she's given to the world. I don't know how to tell her that her real impact is different from what she sees.
More people experience this than they realize.
The legacy someone believes they're leaving can be completely different from the impact others have actually received from them.
“Where Are You with What you take with you — the inner legacy that death carries away?”
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
