Begin where you need to begin
More than a book. A place for their story.
Project Legacy was created specifically for parents whose child has died, at any age and from any cause. It is not a traditional grief journal and there is no schedule for completing it. You can begin with a photograph, a favorite story, a single remembered detail, or a page that simply feels right today.

Learn how counselors, health care teams, hospices, funeral homes, support programs, and other organizations may consider Project Legacy as a resource.
Professional InformationInside the book
The details that make a life.
Thoughtful prompts create room for your child’s personality, relationships, favorite things, traditions, humor, everyday routines, milestones, photographs, keepsakes, and the stories that may exist nowhere else.
The expression on their face when they were trying not to laugh.
The phrase they said a hundred times.
The people and places they loved.
The stories everyone still tells.
The ordinary things that now mean everything.
For parents
Your child’s story, in your own time.
You do not have to start at the beginning. Write one sentence. Add a photograph. Leave a page for another day. There is no required order and no expectation that every page be completed.
This book belongs to you—and so does the pace at which you fill it.
Read Common QuestionsWhy Project Legacy was created
Because their lives deserve to be remembered.
After losing two of my daughters only 23 days apart, I needed a place to gather their stories, photographs, words, personalities, relationships, and all the little things I never wanted time to take from me.
That need became Project Legacy—a place for parents to preserve the life and story of the child they will always love.

For book owners
The Legacy Vault
Some memories deserve a place of their own. The complimentary Legacy Vault holds small, meaningful keepsakes with your Project Legacy book—things such as a hospital bracelet, lock of hair, small piece of jewelry, ticket stub, note, or another treasured piece of your child’s story.
A requested Legacy Vault also arrives with placement instructions and a Project Legacy ribbon bookmark created especially for the book.
