Creation of legacies
Any of a number of structured or free-form exercises and activities to probe past experience and create legacy documents or other archival materials (e.g., audio or video recordings, scrapbooks, memory boxes, ethical wills) intended to impart life lessons or life stories to loved ones. Such activities may have a therapeutic foundation and purpose, or may be more informal.	http://www.pallimed.org/2014/05/cases-legacy-projects-at-end-of-life.html

Dignity therapy
Short-term psychotherapy for patients with life-limiting illness. Intended to uncover, bolster, and document sources of personal strength and meaning. The model involves a tightly structured interview conducted by a trained therapist, leading patients to reflect on accomplishments, dreams, life lessons, and personal history. The interview is transcribed and crafted into a legacy document. As a therapeutic model, dignity therapy has demonstrated success in improving self-reported end-of-life experiences, including dignity, quality of life, depressive symptoms, and spiritual well-being.

Life review
Also called structured or guided reminiscence, life review is a process of facilitated recollection of life events, experiences, milestones, achievements, enjoyments, as well as regrets, failings, and disappointments. Less prescriptive and more wide-ranging than dignity therapy, life review can be facilitated by therapists or counselors, trained volunteers, or family members using a variety of prepared tools. The process has similar therapeutic goals: to promote a sense of meaning and worth, impart life lessons to loved ones, resolve conflicts, or ease depression.	http://www.socialworktoday.com/archive/exc_011812.shtml
