What is a Legacy Project or Memoir?
Hi Friends,
One of my core beliefs is that no one should die alone and no one’s story should go untold. Out of that deeply held value came the Center for Refuge’s our flagship service, Beyond Morning and the Legacy Memoir.
Legacy preservation is where memory meets meaning. Through memoir writing, audio storytelling, and legacy projects, we help individuals preserve their stories before they are gone—and help families honor the lives of those they’ve lost.
When you work with Beyond Morning, you are hiring me to memorialize and write your life’s story. As a professional writer and a trained end of life doula, I am uniquely qualified to write your story and companion individuals at end of life. While these Legacy Memoirs are specifically targeted toward people who are terminally ill, elderly or at end of life, they are also for anyone who wants to make sure that their life’s story will be shared and documented after they are no longer here.
We know that death and end of life brings with it a finality. Memories slowly fade and lessons learned slowly find themselves forgotten. This is why Legacy work is so important. Perhaps you are terminally ill or love someone who is. Perhaps your parents are getting older and you are realizing that one day, they will not be here. It is crucial that you invest in memorializing their legacy today, ensuring that when the body is no longer alive, the story will go on.
This service is intentionally made accessible to any and everyone so please, do not let finances stop you from having your story written. Check out the rest of the website for all of the particulars, as well as how to connect and start the process today.
Bodies die. Stories and connection and love does not have to.
Grace and Peace.
