Because your presence can outlast your lifetime
We make checklists for everything—vacations, grocery runs, college applications. And when it comes to the end of life, we’ve long been told what the list should look like: a will, insurance, maybe a living trust.
Important? Absolutely. But complete? Not even close.
Today, end-of-life planning has evolved. It’s no longer just about legal documents and asset distribution. It’s about legacy—emotional, personal, and yes, digital. It’s about leaving behind more than your belongings. It’s about leaving behind yourself.
Welcome to the era of the digital legacy—a new, deeply human way to plan for what comes after.
What Is a Digital Legacy?
A digital legacy is the sum of the memories, messages, and meaning you leave online and in recorded form. It includes:
- Heartfelt messages to loved ones
- Recorded videos for future milestones
- Family stories, values, and traditions
- Important documents and personal reflections
- Online accounts and digital assets
But more than anything else, it’s a way to ensure your presence continues to guide, comfort, and uplift the people you care about—even long after you're gone.
Why It Matters More Than Ever
Let’s face it: we live digitally. Our memories live in the cloud. Our photos, our journals, our playlists, our stories—they’re all part of our digital footprint. And yet, when we plan for the end, we often leave that side of our life untouched.
But it’s exactly those emotional touches—your voice, your smile, your advice—that your loved ones will crave the most.
They won’t remember what your estate attorney said.
They’ll remember the way you told stories. The way you laughed. The way you made them feel.
That’s why modern end-of-life planning includes more than paperwork...It includes presence.
How to Build a Digital Legacy with Purpose
Creating a digital legacy doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. In fact, with tools like Potter’s Messages, it can be simple, heartfelt, and even healing.
Here’s how to start:
- Record Your Messages: Leave words for your children, your partner, your best friend. You can write them, film them, or voice-record them. Say what matters most—what you love, what you’ve learned, what you hope for them.
- Schedule for the Moments That Matter: Potter’s Messages lets you time your messages for delivery on future birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, or “just because.” It’s your love, showing up right on time.
- Store What’s Important: From your favorite recipes to life advice and important documents, your digital legacy can include anything you want your family to carry forward.
- Make It Personal: This isn’t about formalities—it’s about heart. Speak naturally. Be yourself. This is your chance to show up in the way only you can.
The Emotional Power of Digital Goodbye
Grief doesn’t follow a script. But one thing is universally true: losing someone you love is made just a bit more bearable when you can still feel their presence.
That’s what a digital legacy does. It gives your family a way to hear you again. To remember not just who you were, but how you made them feel loved, safe, and seen.
And that’s not just planning. - That’s healing.
It’s Not Morbid—It’s Meaningful
Let’s reframe how we think about end-of-life planning. It’s not about death—it’s about love. It’s about stepping into your final act with purpose, clarity, and care. Creating your digital legacy is a gift—one that says:
“Even when I’m gone, I’m still with you.”
