Legacy Projects are a beautiful opportunity to reminisce about life, and can be a meaningful, and powerful experience. They are a collaboration of achievements, contributions to society, and memories. It is a way to bring comfort and peace to the patient and their loved ones during the end of life transition, and the grieving process. Family members and friends are encouraged to take part in sharing special memories.
Life Legacy Projects can include:
- Letter writing and journaling.
- Scrapbooking
- Memory books
- Videos/ Recordings
- Scheduling gifts and cards to be distributed on “special days”
- Cook books of favorite family recipes
- Framed pictures with special saying
Legacy projects are also helpful in creating eulogies and writing obituaries.
