Legacy Projects
End-of-life doulas can assist with legacy projects in a variety of ways. Legacy projects are creative endeavors that allow individuals to leave a lasting memory for their loved ones. Some examples of legacy projects include writing letters, creating scrapbooks or photo albums, recording audio or video messages, and completing art projects.
​
Here are a few ways that I can assist with legacy projects:
-
Brainstorming: I can help individuals and families to brainstorm ideas for legacy projects based on their interests, skills, and preferences. They can also provide guidance on how to get started and offer suggestions for materials and resources.
-
Planning: I can help individuals to plan and organize their legacy projects, breaking them down into manageable steps and creating a timeline for completion.
-
Support: I can offer emotional support and encouragement throughout the process of creating a legacy project, providing a safe and supportive space for individuals to express themselves and share their memories.
-
Accountability: I can help to hold individuals accountable for their legacy project goals, checking in regularly and offering feedback and support to help keep the project on track.
Overall, as an end-of-life doula, I can play an important role in assisting individuals and families with legacy projects, helping them to create a meaningful and lasting tribute that can bring comfort and healing to loved ones in the years to come.
