✨ Become a Certified Facilitator of

The Story We Leave™

Do you feel called to help others share their stories, celebrate their lives, and find meaning in moments of transition?

TSWL Facilitators never write someone’s story for them.
They guide, listen, and support.
They don’t need to be an author or editor — only a compassionate companion.

THE STORY WE LEAVE™

WHY CERTIFICATION MATTERS

Discover the difference between simply “helping someone write”
and becoming a Certified Legacy Facilitator.

🌿 This Isn’t Writing Support — It’s Emotional Safety

Anyone can hand someone a journal,
but guiding a person through their memories — especially seniors, caregivers, hospice families, or those facing loss — requires training, sensitivity, and structure.

Certified facilitators learn how to:

• create emotional safety and trust

• support memories that bring tears, regret, or grief

• guide seniors and dementia clients with compassion

• avoid unintentional emotional harm

• hold space without judgment, pressure, or correction

• follow trauma-informed, ethics-based boundaries

This is not about grammar or storytelling.
It’s about care, connection, and safe guidance.

🌙 Why Training Makes All the Difference

Without training, a helper may unintentionally…

• trigger painful memories

• overwhelm a senior or hospice client

• mishandle a story involving trauma

• rush emotional moments

• correct or interrupt the storyteller

• freeze when the person becomes emotional

• say the wrong thing at a vulnerable time

• skip important steps that protect the storyteller

A journal alone cannot protect someone emotionally.

✨ Why Prompts & Guidance Matter

Most people freeze when staring at a blank page.
Guided prompts make remembering easy, gentle, and natural —
especially when supported by someone trained to listen, witness, and guide.

Prompts + Trained Support = A story safely told.

💜 A Certified Legacy Facilitator Offers What a Journal Alone Cannot

• emotional safety

• guided memory recall

• compassionate witnessing

• structured session flow

• legacy ethics

• trauma-aware support

• meaningful completion

 

This work is sacred.
It deserves training.
It deserves skill.
It deserves certification.

THE STORY WE LEAVE™

Legacy Facilitator Certification
Because every life deserves to be witnessed safely.

You don’t have to figure out what to write or where to start.
We use gentle, guided prompts that lead you step by step through the memories.

Most people feel overwhelmed looking at a blank page.
That’s why The Story We Leave™ uses guided prompts — small, easy questions that open the door to big memories.

You don’t have to think of anything on your own.
Prompts do the heavy lifting.
Prompts turn ‘I don’t know what to say’
into
‘Oh! I remember this.’

The Story We Leave™ Facilitator Certification Course trains compassionate guides to lead legacy storytelling sessions for individuals, families, and communities.

Whether you're working with the elderly, supporting those in grief, or helping families preserve memories before loss, this course gives you the tools to make every story count.
