Ep. 67: Creating Legacies In The Face Of A Terminal Illness

Rebecca Hobbs-Lawrence, Pathways Program Coordinator at The Dougy Center, joins us to talk about creating legacies when someone is dying. What is a legacy? What memories do children and teens value most? What prevents families from engaging in legacy activities? What can supportive friends and family do to help create these legacies? We explore these questions and share suggestions that can apply to anyone who wants to capture memories and experiences with those they love.    For more suggestions, please visit: legacyproject.org thelegacycenter.net ethicalwill.com
