New York Times Article on legacy

December 12, 2016/in Uncategorized /by rmednick

There was a great article in the New York Times on Friday, December 9th, 2016 that talked about older adults finding peace in remembering aspects of their lives and sharing with others:

Always good as we approach the New Year to reflect on our lives and think about the legacy we will leave behind one day. I encourage everyone to write their letter of legacy to their family and friends this coming year – it will be the greatest gift you can ever give your loved ones.

Robin is an inspirational leader, teasing out of you things you never thought you'd say out loud and she does it in a warm and inviting way. My legacy has started me on a path that I will continue to explore as the thoughts come to me and it will provide to my children and grandchildren, their history; good and bad.

I only wish we had more time with Robin. She makes a difference!

Thank you Robin, for helping me on a road I would never have taken if not for you.

Death was a frightening prospect for me…then, after participating in a group Life Reflections session, I gained a new perspective. The workshop opened up a bright window. I will not be simply leaving my loved ones but leaving to them my legacy. The journey of what is my life is filled with lessons, insights and wonderful memories that, without having articulated and documented, would have disappeared along with me – never to be shared with the people that mean the most to me.

The program itself was very well organized to help us through this sometimes difficult process. However what was most valuable was Robin’s compassion, tremendous empathy and ability to make the group feel safe. None of us could have done it without her. Thanks Robin

I attended a Life Reflection Stories workshop facilitated by Robin Mednick. The workbook provided had an excellent process of asking the right questions to engage the participant in the process of writing one's stories. However, the key to the success of the experience was definitely Robin's leadership throughout the process. Robin has an innate sense of when to ask poignant questions, when to move on to new topics. She makes every participant feel special in their own way and gives each one an opportunity to speak and share at their tempo.

I was able to write with ease my Life Reflection Stories during the workshop and further enhanced them afterward. My stories will be with me from this time forward and I may even add more as time goes by.

Thank you Robin for the experience to uncover and share my Life Stories!

Lessons I have learned from others #2November 29, 2020 - 7:48 pm
On Friday, November 27th, Fati Madougou, the wife of the former Mayor of Libore, Amadou Madougou, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family. I met Fati in Niger in 2007, when I went for my first visit in May of that year. She couldn’t speak a word of English and I could barely say anything in French. But that is when our special friendship was forged. And in my subsequent 7 visits to Niger over the last 13 years, we met each time in her home or my hotel. Each time our bond grew stronger, but never through language, never through the spoken word. We would sit looking at each…
