Notes
Jeannine Millner is a Religious Studies Major who is training to be an end-of-life doula. Her presentation focused on adding value to the life of terminally ill patients through legacy projects. She provides the terminally ill a meaningful way to tell their stories. These legacy projects make memories tangible for the families of her clients. Clients and loved ones use their talents and creativity to create a variety of projects including pillows, journals, letters, art, videos, and audio recordings. Jeannine finds a way to give closure to patients as well as their families.
