A Companion to What Happens After You
The Words That Outlive You
Legacy Letter Kit
Your will handles your assets. Your advance directive handles your medical wishes. Neither one says I loved you. This is a guided system for writing the letters your family will treasure — starting now, while you have the words.
Instant PDF download · 30 pages · 7 letter types, worksheets & templates included
“I’ve seen families fight bitterly over furniture. I’ve never seen one argue over a handwritten letter that said ‘here’s what I hoped for you.’”
Your legal documents tell your family what you wanted to happen. This kit helps you tell them who you were — in your own words, while you still have all of them.
The Biggest Mistake Women Make
Waiting for a Reason to Write These
Too many women treat legacy letters as something you write after a diagnosis, in a hospice room, with a hand too tired to hold a pen steady. That’s not when these letters should be written — it’s just, too often, when women finally give themselves permission to.
Letters written today, clear-headed and unhurried, will almost always be truer to who you are. And a letter written years in advance isn’t only for after you’re gone — you can hand a version of it to your daughter on her wedding day and watch her read it. That’s a gift “someday” writing can never give you.
What’s Inside
Seven letters worth writing. A worksheet and a template for every one of them.
|
Letter One The ‘I Love You’ Letter The foundational letter every person you love deserves. Not implied. Not assumed. Written. |
Letter Two The Life Story Letter The family history only you carry — and that disappears if you don’t write it down. |
|
Letter Three The Values & Wisdom Letter Not lectures — your truth about how to live and love, shared with love. |
Letter Four Letters for Future Milestones Graduations, weddings, hard days — write them now, for moments you might not witness. |
|
Letter Five The Forgiveness Letter The letter that heals something before you go — for you as much as for them. |
Letter Six ‘This Is What I Want You to Know’ The family recipe, the hidden ornaments, the small irreplaceable knowledge. |
|
Letter Seven The Legacy and Purpose Letter What you hope your family carries forward in your name — not as obligation, but as love. |
Plus Your Writing System A 7-week path, a progress tracker, storage guidance, and two bonus fill-in letter pages. |
This Kit Is For You If…
| ✓ You’ve already handled the legal side — or you’re working on it — and want to leave something more personal too. |
| ✓ You’ve thought “I should write something for the kids” more than once, and never started. |
| ✓ You want structure and prompts, not a blank page and good intentions. |
| ✓ You’d rather write these while you’re healthy than leave them to a rushed goodbye. |

Questions I Hear Most Often
Do I need to be a good writer?
No. Write like you talk. Every letter type comes with discovery prompts and a fill-in-the-blank template so you’re never starting from a blank page.
Do I need What Happens After You first?
No — this kit stands on its own. It’s designed as a companion to the full end-of-life planning guide, but you can absolutely start here if these are the letters calling to you first.
Is this legally binding?
No, and it’s not meant to be. A legacy letter is personal, not legal — it doesn’t replace a will or advance directive. It’s the letter that says what those documents never could.
What format is it, and how do I get it?
It’s a downloadable PDF, delivered instantly after checkout. Print the worksheets and templates, or fill them out digitally — whatever gets you writing.
One letter today.
A legacy forever.
Every letter you write is a piece of yourself you get to leave behind. Your voice. Your love. Your truth.
