In the time of an unprecedented pandemic, it’s worth stepping out to think about what’s important, about legacy and about prepared.

A valuable, empowering and encouraging experience.

I always thought that having a will and being able to talk about dying and death was sufficient and that I had faced this taboo topic, goodness, was I wrong! LoveLegacyDignity opened my eyes, my thoughts and emotions and helped me explore aspects deeper as well as providing excellent practical guidance. Discussions were held in a safe relaxed space and I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it extremely beneficial in my personal and professional capacity.

I have just completed 4 separate evening workshops for the LoveLegacyDignity Live Well, Finish Strong course (please correct if I have the title of the course wrong.) I enjoyed the interaction with Helena, Mapi and my co-participants, and believe that I have come away from the sessions better informed about matters that should, if possible, be put in place, and written up, before I die. The importance of “leaving my affairs in order’ so that my loved ones do not have to deal with bureaucratic red tape and have a neat, methodical and clear guide line to reference re my last wishes in the event of my death.

I live with metastatic breast cancer. The knowledge that I will die one day is both a universal reality which I share with all human beings and a very concrete experience. I want to thrive in my life, not just survive my cancer, so I sought help from Helena Dolny.
Her well conceptualised Love, Legacy and Dignity programme helped me to organise my own thinking about my goals, priorities and dreams for my future. Her practical advice for managing affairs has helped me to get that admin, which we all avoid, that is central to living as much as it is to dying, in place. Her emphasis on” dignity “has opened up conversations with my medical team, family and friends.
I enjoyed Helena’s pragmatic compassion and gentle humour. I can highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to live a meaningful, connected life.

For many years I have said that dying and death is a journey we will all embark on and its the one we are least prepared for. Joining a group on the maiden voyage of LoveLegacyDignity has been a profound experience. I have been exposed to deep reflection and given really useful knowledge and know how about the end of life journey. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to be better prepared and educate both myself and my loved ones as what departing with dignity means for me.

Living far from my family I would be anxious when I’d receive a call from home at odd hours. I constantly thought about death and dying with paralysing anxiety. I decided to attend Love Legacy Dignity to deal with my fears. But true to the brochure the course is “life affirming”. Instead of being consumed by fear, I now sing with Queen Latifah’s “I’m gonna live until I die”. I chose this song in the session on final rites. I felt a sweet sadness but more so a genuine celebration. Being deliberate and knowledgeable about living and dying has eased my anxiety.
Helena is masterful. She is authentic. It is obvious that she has created the course as love-work.

LoveLegacyDignity is a deeply reflective, rewarding and refreshing approach to Dying with Grace, Clarity and Care for both yourself and those you love. Helena has poured a lifetime of experience into a carefully curated series of processes and exercises. She employs multiple modalities and a treasure trove of tools to guide you through the complex terrain of preparing for the transition between Life and Death. It is an unforgettable experience and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to leave this world and Die with Dignity.
