Dear friends,
Well-intentioned final messages can inadvertently cause pain, guilt, or trauma for recipients when they include certain phrases, topics, or emotional content that creates lasting harm rather than comfort. Unlike conversations, final messages can't be clarified, apologized for, or taken back.
This is a common challenge that affects how people approach posthumous communication. By understanding the underlying issues and following proven strategies, you can navigate this challenge successfully and create messages that truly serve their intended purpose.
