We all want to be remembered. And most of us have a pretty good idea of just how we want our loved ones to remember us after we are gone. But how can we be sure they’ll remember us the way we want to be remembered?

The best way is to pass on our stories in our own words. But, despite our best intentions, few of us find the time to do that. A simple fact of life is that none of us knows with any certainty which breath will be our last. Or which story will be the last one told.

We can help preserve your stories. The personal historians at When Words Matter are committed to building bridges between generations, using the words of our clients.

We can help you compose an ethical will (sometimes called legacy letter) in which you pass on your hopes and beliefs, or a more extensive personal or family history, all within your financial budget and according to your timetable. Your life is unique, and we are committed to making certain that your written legacy reflects your experiences, hopes and dreams. Each project is tailored to your specifications.

Working with the professional staff of When Words Matter produces more than just a clear, written record of your life experience. Consider these additional, priceless benefits:

• Composing a legacy of your values provides a sense of peace and purpose.

• Your personal goals will be more clearly defined after building your unique family legacy – forming a link for past, present and future generations.

• You will share in writing emotions that you might not be able to express face-to-face.

• You will have the satisfaction of giving your loved ones the most precious of all gifts, your unique family stories, ensuring that they won’t be lost forever.
