The Comforting Echo

Write a letter to your loved one who’s passed, read the letter out loud and then respond to it from their perspective.

This writing prompt challenges you to assume the voice of your departed loved one. Express your feelings of longing, questions you wished you’d asked, and even apologies you want to make. Read out the letter, listening to your own voice bounce back. Then, write a response from their perspective. What loving reassurances or wise words would they have for you? This could provide a degree of closure and comfort.
