MyEverLife
When living with terminal cancer or another life-limiting illness, you may want to preserve stories, write to someone you love, or simply record what matters today. You may also choose not to. There is no complete life story you owe anyone.
ONE SMALL WAY TO BEGIN
If you want to begin, choose one person and one thing you would like them to know. A few sentences are enough.
How to use MyEverLife
Choose what matters to you today
Use EverJournal for a reflection, or choose an EverThought that feels meaningful. Skip topics you do not want to discuss. Your story can include humour and everyday life as well as difficult feelings.
Use the format you prefer
Type or speak your answer according to what feels comfortable. If you ask someone to help, review the content together and make sure it reflects what you actually want to say.
Make a personal message
EverMessages lets you prepare words for a person or future occasion. Check the recipient and available delivery settings carefully. Keep another copy of anything especially important and consider sharing it now if timing matters.
Review access while you can choose
Decide what stays private and what you want to share. Ask support about account and access questions rather than assuming a family member will automatically inherit access.
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 is one memory of us I want you to keep?
- What do I appreciate about you?
- Which ordinary part of my life would I like to describe?
- What would I like to say today, without waiting for a special occasion?
A message does not have to be a goodbye
It can be a funny story, a recipe, or a reminder of a good afternoon. Keep the focus on what you want to share, with no pressure to finish a collection.
