Ann Haas
Akron, Ohio
My interest in legacy writing evolved out of my clinical work as a hospital social worker and administrator. I assisted many patients and families during my forty two year social work career in documenting their wishes and listening to their unique life stories. I was witness to many heartrending stories, especially when patients were faced with end of life decisions and experienced an urgency to leave behind a legacy document as an adjunct to their legal health care documents for their loved ones. It was my honor to listen to their stories and help them create their legacy letters and ethical wills. Pursuing the certification as a legacy facilitator helps me to continue this sacred work and to embrace my personal legacy writing as well.
My hopes and blessings for my community are to offer legacy writing services to local health care and hospice organizations, at educational forums sponsored through our public library system, and to any individuals or groups with an interest in legacy documents.
Please allow me the honor to assist you with these important conversations and documents.
