Dead Letter Project

Send us the letters you wish you could send to:

  • someone who has died

  • someone or something that is dead to you

  • death itself

  • declare what you want before you die

  • yourself from someone gone

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Supportive suggestion: Take a moment of silence to connect inward and clear space for this significant task. Consider any daily practices that might support your presence (candles, prayer, meditation, movement, etc.) prior to beginning to write.

  • Write directly to the person/place/being/event/community/issue that you are giving death to or connecting to beyond death.

  • Remove identifying information; be responsible for the level of confidentiality you want.

  • Mail to 137 Iroquois Avenue, Suite 101, Essex Junction, VT 05452 or email jess at griefcenterofvermont.com

  • If you want your letter to be destroyed upon reading or have special instructions, please indicate them clearly.

‘til soon, all my love,
Jess
