Leaving a Legacy of Faith

In today's episode, Laurel Nicholson is joined by Jill Yuen, a certified Death & Resurrection Doula whose calling centers on helping others create meaningful legacy projects rooted in faith and hope. Jill shares how God led her to a Christian training program and how her own experiences shaped her desire to support individuals and families as they preserve treasured values and memories for future generations.

Laurel and Jill go on to explore the spiritual significance of legacy work—from written blessings and family Bibles to creative keepsakes inspired by biblical memorials such as the stones at Gilgal. Their conversation highlights how intentional remembrance can strengthen relationships, express faith, and offer comfort in times of grief.

Welcome to The Death & Resurrection Doula Podcast, a space where faith, theology, and end-of-life care meet in the form of compassionate, hope-filled conversation.  Hosted by Christian End-of-Life Doula Practitioner and Theologian Laurel Nicholson, this podcast serves as an invitation to explore the sacred realities of death and our resurrection into eternal life through the power of Jesus Christ.

Each episode offers thoughtful reflection and meaningful dialogue—whether through rich theological insights, heartfelt discussions with those serving within and around end-of-life care, or with shared moments drawn from our live fellowship community. All are united by a single purpose: to remove the taboo surrounding death and to proclaim the joy of returning home to spend eternity with our loving God.
