How to create an emotional will

While a traditional will focuses on the distribution of assets, and a living will addresses end of life care, an emotional will is concerned with matters of the heart. It is a personal and heartfelt message that conveys your love and guidance to your loved ones.

One of the main benefits of creating an emotional will is that it provides your loved ones with a sense of closure and comfort after you pass away. It allows you to express your love and gratitude for them, and to share any advice or wisdom that you may have for them. It can also be a way to express your apologies for any mistakes that you might have made during your lifetime and to make peace with those you love.

Another important benefit of an emotional will is that it can serve as a source of inspiration and guidance for your loved ones as they navigate their own lives. It can provide them with a sense of purpose and direction as they move forward without you.

Creating an emotional will is a deeply personal process, and it's important to take your time and write from the heart. It can be as simple or as detailed as you want it to be, and it can be written on a piece of paper or typed on a computer. You may find you want to share it with your loved ones while you're still alive, so that they can understand your feelings and take comfort in knowing that you care for them.

A good option is to create the emotional will using afterwords.life app, recording messages, adding photos and audio recordings, to fully capture and convey your thoughts and feelings. Once created you can then schedule the message to be released after you’ve died, at the time of your choosing.

In summary, creating an emotional will is an important step that allows you to express your feelings, values, and wishes to your loved ones after you pass away. It provides a sense of closure and comfort to your loved ones and serves as a source of inspiration and guidance for them as they move forward. It's an intimate act that allows you to say what you always wanted to say but never had the chance to.
