Lisa’s Legacy Grief Bags

What is it? Lisa’s Legacy offers a grief bag that can be given to someone who is struggling with a difficult life circumstance.  The struggle may involve the death of a loved one, a divorce, a devastating medical diagnosis, job loss, depression, or loneliness.   It offers the giver an opportunity to engage the recipient in a compassionate conversation when delivering the bag.   For those who find it hard to approach someone experiencing a tragedy, this grief bag offers purpose and meaning to a visit.  The contents of the bag are meant to bring comfort and cheer to a person at a time when it is often a big effort just to function and complete daily tasks.

​

Why? Lisa’s Legacy was started as a way to carry on the memory of Lisa Filler and to comfort others in their struggle. The bag provides you with an opportunity to open a conversation with the person dealing with loss.

Types of Bags Available

Lisa’s Legacy offers thoughtfully curated grief support bags for different ages and stages of life, including Adults, Teens, Pre-Teens, Elementary-aged children, Preschoolers, and those grieving the loss of a beloved pet. Each bag is designed to provide comfort, encouragement, and meaningful support through carefully selected items that help individuals process grief in their own way. Bags and contents are based on availability and subject to change.
