A LITTLE INSPIRATION

The way I remember her

Illustrative example · not a member’s story

She always waved until the car turned the corner. That little wave was her way of saying, “You belong here.”

INSIDE THE APP / EverVault

Keep the things that hold a story.

Preserve a photograph, letter, or document, and add the context that makes it meaningful.

There is no deadline for remembering someone. You may want to keep a small story now, return to a photograph later, or do nothing today. MyEverLife can hold your own reflections and material you have permission to preserve.

ONE SMALL WAY TO BEGIN

If it feels right, write down a small habit, phrase, or act of kindness you associate with them.

How to use MyEverLife

  1. Write from your own perspective

    Use your EverJournal to describe a memory of the person. Begin with “I remember…” so it is clear whose recollection this is.

  2. Keep original material with its context

    Save a photograph or a letter you have permission to keep in EverVault. Include its author, approximate date, and how it came to you. Keep original files or physical keepsakes separately as well.

  3. Invite stories without expectation

    Ask a relative or friend whether they would like to share a memory. Let them decline. Get their permission before adding their words to your collection or sharing them further.

  4. Choose what feels right to revisit

    A meaningful collection can be small. Come back when you want to; there is no need to complete a biography or turn every memory into a lesson.

WORDS TO GET YOU STARTED

Choose a question that feels right.

You can use these prompts in EverJournal or as the start of a conversation.

  • What ordinary thing reminds me of them?
  • When did they make me laugh?
  • What did they teach me through their actions?
  • What is the story behind this keepsake?

Their words and your memories are different gifts

Label an original letter as their words and a recollection as yours. Do not present an AI-generated reply as something they actually said, or use someone’s likeness or voice without the required permission.

Choose what you share

A family relationship does not automatically give access to someone’s account. For questions about an existing account or a deceased member’s content, contact support rather than sharing passwords.

Review the app’s current sharing settings before inviting anyone. Family memberships provide separate accounts and do not automatically grant access to another person’s private memories. Read the privacy policy.
