The Legacy Recorder Community Guide: A guide to helping others write their life story

By Gael Gilliland

Somewhere someone in your life is experiencing death, grief, and unimaginable loss. Perhaps you yourself have experienced these monumental moments that shape our perception of the world. This book, and the process contained within it, is my response and expression of self-discovery as I processed the death of my father, the birth of my daughter, and a life irrevocably changed.

What you will find in this book is an easy to use writing method that you can implement in groups or individually with the people you love and care for to help them tell their life stories. I know this is no small promise and the book may not seem long enough to accomplish this, but I assure you it's all in there. You already have everything you need to help someone else rediscover their human dignity, this book makes it a little easier.

"When I heard about Gael's Legacy project and her approach to easily writing the story of your life, I IMMEDIATELY bought multiple copies. I have gotten profuse thanks from family members who are now deep into capturing those important memories and meanings from their lives!"

-Wendy White

"Recently my family interviewed my grandma on her 86th birthday.  We realized how little we knew about her life and wanted to learn more about her.  We used some of the questions and the format from Legacy Recorder. 

It was an amazing experience.  It was helpful to have a format to follow and so fun to learn about her childhood and marriage to my grandpa.  I highly recommend Gael and the Legacy Recorder!"

Gael Gilliland

Gael Gilliland is the founder of The Legacy Recorder which helps every person tell their life story in a simple, intentional way for future generations to cherish. She is actively working with corporations, non-profits, and senior care facilities to help as many people as she can in recording their legacy. She also published The Legacy Recorder Community Guide so that individuals and families can get started on their legacy today. In addition to The Legacy Recorder, Gael has been a freelance writer for over ten years. She’s worked with businesses and individuals to help them create clear and effective content. Her projects include several full-length books, articles, and social media content for full calendar years. Gael is fortunate to work with her lifelong passion. From a young age, Gael had the desire to master the written word and help people tell their stories. Her own life experiences in college, motherhood, marriage, and loss have fueled her own story and given it a colorful arc of ups and downs, of losing and finding herself, and of discovering the beauty in every person’s story.  This is why she has made it her mission to get those stories down on paper before those stories fade.
