Vigil Plan + Legacy Package
This package Includes all of The Vigil Plan Package elements, plus adds a full, structured life review which the client often finds brings them quite a lot of essential peace. The doula will assist in creating a legacy project beginning with a life review to reveal life themes that could be carried forward in a Legacy Project, A Legacy Project beautifully empowers the Client as they write their own next chapter and is also gives powerful comfort to family so they know exactly how their loved one has chosen to be remembered. A Life Review also gently informs the Vigil Plan as well as the Client often chooses to involve elements that they discovered to be central to their life. This pairing of the Legacy Project and Vigil Plan creates a gentle continuity to the journey.
