MBSFood: The Letter Writing Project with Author Wendy Wolff

The Letter Writing Project isn't just a book; according to the book jacket, "it's an emotionally liberating experience that could change your life."  Join us as author Wendy Wolff shares about the healing power of letter writing expressed in her book, and the many lives it has changed.

Wendy Wolff is a public advocate who found healing through writing her own profound story of loss. In her own words: "The Letter Writing Project began as a tribute to my sister, Donna, on the day that the world was remembering her and has morphed into an activity to say the things that you need to say before it is too late. Since its inception I have written letters to friends, children, husbands, teachers, cousins, neighbors and anyone I could think of. Some I mailed and some are still sitting in my “to be tossed” pile. Some letters I will never have any addresses for and yet I still wrote the letter. With most of my letters I eliminated the possibility that if tragedy should strike again in my life and I will never again be left with my thoughts festering inside of me. My sister died with me a bit out of touch with her. I can never take that back. That helpless feeling of regret will always loom over me regarding my sister, but The Letter Writing Project has prevented me from ever having that happen again. In this book there are all kinds of letters. There are professions of love, apologies, retribution, anger, grief, remorse, joy, fulfillment, gratitude, spirituality and hatred."
