Eulogy and all.

In the least it would be a fun exercise.
In a way, I do something philosophically similar. Every so often, I throw out my journals or write a goodbye to my past. That way, I feel like I've discarded and/or made peace with the memory of difficult times. This helps me believe that I can have something like a blank slate, a fresh start. So I ruminate less on the past, even if temporarily. That's motivating for me.
