Help Should I include this in my goodbye letter?

[applepie]

Hello,
I need some outside opinion whether or not to include the short story Ex Oblivione by H.P. Lovecraft in my goodbye letter. It's very short (about 1 page), here's a link: https://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/eo.aspx

I would of course write the normal goodbye letter, but this short story is something that really resonates with me and I always kinda viewed it as a goodbye letter in itself.
However, I am afraid that I am being way too sentimental/dramatic and putting way too much personal interpretation, and while it offers me a lot of comfort, it would not be helpful/understandable for my family.

I know this is kinda stupid, but I would just like to know what is your impression of the short story; or if you think something like this would be okay to include as part of the goodbye letter.

I would be very grateful for any response :)

It's your goodbye letter, and you get to decide what to put in it Please don't feel overdramatic or overly sentimental for something that's meant to be your last words. If the short story is something you'd like to include as a way to express yourself in a way that feels most like you, go for it! If you want, just leave a short explanation in the letter regarding the story so readers will understand what it means to you and what you want it to mean to them ♡ That said, you don't need to justify what comforts you.

Best of luck and I wish you the sweetest comforts of life ♡

I say go for it. If it means this much to you, why not include it? This is your last chance to communicate. It should be something meaningful to you.
