The Words We
Never Get to Say
It started with a letter from a young grandchild to her grandparent.
Life moves fast.
The advice.
The encouragement.
The “I love you.”
Too often, those moments go unspoken or are lost with time.
Why This Matters
Storytelling is more than communication. It is a relational practice with measurable health impact. Research highlighted by Harvard Health Publishing shows that “children who heard stories had higher levels of oxytocin, lower cortisol, more positive hospital experiences, and lower levels of pain.”
– Annie Brewster, MD, “Stories connect us,” Harvard Health Publishing, July 21, 2021.
“Sharing a picture or story with your children, grandchildren, and loved ones can impact their experience of bereavement and the degree of grief they feel when your time on earth is up.
Preserving those memories in video form can be priceless.”
– Sandy Wheeler, Founder of Life’s Thoughts
“Grief is as old as humankind, yet every time a unique human being loses someone they love or suffers any significant loss, it is a freshly painful, singular experience”
– Dr. Alan Wolfelt

Testimonials
My dad was a decorated World War II pilot. When I was only three years old, he was killed during a training mission.
I would give every penny I have and everything I own just to see a short video of him and hear his voice again.
Do I talk like him? Do I sound like him? If something like Life’s Thoughts had existed, I would know.
An outstanding idea.
Cancer is a devastating diagnosis no one ever wants to hear from their doctor. At first, it feels unreal.
A friend told me about Life’s Thoughts and the app they were building. Rather than just sitting and waiting to see how treatments would go, my oncologist suggested I select photos and record video stories for each of my loved ones, just in case things didn’t go my way.
What a rewarding experience. It gave me something meaningful to focus on: remembering the special moments and the life I was able to share with the people I love.
I am a grandpa (the kids call me Papa), and my son shared a website and app called Life’s Thoughts with me. I loved reading about a process where I can make a difference for my five children, my wife, and my twelve grandchildren through video story messages I create for them. These messages can help them deal with the bereavement and grief that will come when my life on earth has finished.
What a great way to exit this world. It blessed me to create each story from a photograph and a special memory.
When I was introduced to this App I honestly thought, I am so young in this journey called life, but when one of my best friend’s life ended suddenly in a car accident, that event changed everything.
Although, my age didn’t change, when I thought about those I love and how they might deal with my sudden death and the grief and bereavement that they will have to experience, it gave me a different viewpoint and I began to create from my photographs, a special video story for those I love most.
Great concept…and thank you!
I so wanted to write this note of encouragement and felt comfortable doing that because Jeff and I knew you.
We were only married 14 months and of course you and Jeff were already friends, and he believed in your vision for this App. Jeff, of course, never recovered from his stroke and in a couple of weeks I had to plan his funeral. He had planned that very weekend to create his video messages, and he didn’t get the chance.
I am devastated but want to encourage you about such a great plan to make a difference in how loved ones will deal with grief when someone they love is truly gone.
I love what I do, and I know it can be tough on my wife and kids not being able to know where I am in the world and the types of mission we agree to carry out.
So, when another team member told me about this app, I looked it up, purchased it, and completed the message that I would want played if something were to go wrong.
I told my teammate “That box is checked!”
