There’s a moment that changes you.
It usually comes quietly — in a hospital room, during a late-night phone call, or when you’re holding onto someone’s belongings with more questions than answers.
For me, it was the realization that if something happened tomorrow… my family wouldn’t know everything I needed them to.
Not the stories. Not the passwords. Not the goodbye. I had much more to say… thus born, the legacy journal
We prepare for a lot in life — jobs, insurance, retirement — but we rarely prepare for what we leave behind when we’re no longer here to speak for ourselves.
❌ The Problem No One Talks About
I’ve watched families unravel after loss.
Not just from grief, but from confusion — from the silence that follows when a parent, partner, or grandparent passes without leaving clear guidance.
They didn’t know:
- What bills needed to be paid
- Where to find important documents
- What their loved one really wanted
- Or how to honor them properly
And worst of all — they didn’t have their words. Their voice.
Just the regret of things left unsaid.
?️ What I Created — and Why It’s Different
That’s why I built Should Tomorrow Never Come – Legacy Edition.
It’s not just a journal. It’s a lifeline.
This guided workbook walks you through everything most people forget until it’s too late:
- Final wishes
- Family traditions
- Practical information (logins, contacts, medical info)
- Messages to your children, your spouse, your future generations
But I knew even that wasn’t enough.
So I added something no other legacy journal (aff) has — digital support.
Every copy comes with access to Solace, a compassionate AI companion that helps guide you or your family through the journey.
It also unlocks bonus materials, downloadable planning tools, and peace-of-mind checklists — because real preparation is more than just paper.
? Watch the Story Behind It
If you want to see what this means — and what it can mean for your family — I made a short video to explain it from the heart:

? Final Thoughts
I didn’t create this for sales.
I created it because someone needs it. Maybe you. Maybe your parents. Maybe your future self.
Don’t wait to leave something meaningful behind.
Start your legacy today.
Because tomorrow isn’t promised.
