Your Life Journals are what you wish them to be. They can be private for family, restricted for friends, public and even anonymous & all with live video and pictures.
It’s a place you can create for the future so your loved ones or those you invite can log in and get some special time with you when they need you.
You can
Tell the story of your life; leave your daily “I love you’s”, your favourite jokes, bedtime stories for the young ones, share life stories, recall and share old memories, recipes etc.
You can do this with family and make it as much fun as you like. It is only limited only by you.
Congratulations, you have taken the first step in creating your life legacy
I just want to say thank you. Thank you for allowing me to leave my thoughts and words of wisdom behind for my family. I don't have much energy at this point, so being able to hit "record" when I'm ready, and "stop" when I'm tired, is so much easier than what Mom went through. We pushed Mom to get...
My wife and I ran into a thorny issue while getting our affairs in order. We're wrestling with whether it's ever okay to divide an estate unequally among adult children. We know it's legal to handle our estate this way, but there could be other ramifications. For instance, what if one child suffers from drug, alcohol, or gambling addiction? The...
Staying at home translates into boredom quickly, so we should try to fill the time with something useful. That is what the wise would say. I'm not wise, so I spend my free time getting stuck in old memories. I went through my collection of old concert DVDs and photo albums these last three days. It was such a rollercoaster...
Happy Easter to everyone! I am slightly late, but I hope my prayers that you all stay safe and healthy wherever you are will reach you just fine. Was your Easter unusually quiet? I thought that's how mine would be, except that we had the longest video chat in our lives last Sunday! To be honest, I was amused that...
I'm starting to feel cheated of the last bit of life I have left. I was diagnosed with ALS a couple of months ago. It took some time to come to terms with having a fatal disease and one that completely takes away your independence at that. One thing that helped me cope was to create a mini-bucket list of...
This thing with the coronavirus feels so BIG, like our civilization is careening out of control. As of this moment, the United States has more confirmed cases of the coronavirus than any other nation. It's serious business; people are dying and the economy has essentially shut down. Schools have closed and working parents are scrambling for child care. It's a...
It's my birthday and I am 67 today. I've never felt so lucky as I did surrounded by my husband, kids, and grandkids. I kept finding myself overwhelmed by my feelings of love for them. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. Course, I guess pinching is fitting today since it's Patrick's Day. I guess it's a...
Some of my family could be a little toxic at times. I spent time in therapy learning how to be a loving daughter while still setting firm personal boundaries. When I think about death, I think about all the family I've lost over the years and the regrets that I have. So many times the person passed away before I...
Sometimes I feel so selfish. I find it difficult to focus on my family and how my disease is affecting them. It's hard though. I'm very much aware of what I'm losing out on, of what I'll never see and experience, of what I'll never achieve. Death is tough to face. Just thinking about it makes me feel like the...
What do you know, tomorrow is Leap Year and I'm still here to experience it. I always felt like GOD was giving us an extra gift by allotting us one additional day every four years. It's another day to commune with family, to get stuff done, and to just enjoy life. I never thought I'd see another one. When I...
Sometimes I think that life isn't very fun these days. No, I'm not just talking about this illness and what it brings along. I mean, how discouraging it is when you turn on the TV or browse some articles on the net only to find depressing lines or overdramatic news. I put up a barrier around myself in defense without...
The world and how we communicate with others has changed so much over the years. Now it's possible to form tight bonds with someone across the ocean, someone you have never met in person. How will I end my digital life? Do I want to designate someone to sign in for me, make a post explaining that I've passed away...
