ONE QUESTION A WEEK ✍️

What did your childhood home look, sound and smell like?

Close your eyes for a moment and take yourself back there.

Was there a clock ticking in the kitchen?
A particular chair someone always sat in?
The smell of Sunday dinner, turf on the fire or washing drying indoors?
Children playing outside, a radio in the background, someone calling you in for your tea?

It's often the ordinary details that become the most precious memories.
And someday, these are the little pieces of you that your family may treasure knowing.
One question. One memory. One little piece of your story saved. 💛
For After I've Gone — because our stories are worth leaving behind.

September is Legacy Month

But what exactly is a legacy?

It isn't just the house you leave behind.
It isn't the money in your bank account.
And it certainly isn't just what's written in your will.

Your legacy is your stories.
Your handwriting.
Your memories.
Your values.
Your advice.
The silly family stories that only you can tell.
The words your children might desperately wish they could hear from you someday.

This month, I want to start conversations about what it really means to leave something of you behind.

Because you don't have to be sick.
You don't have to be old.
And you don't have to be dying to think about your legacy.

You just have to have someone you love.

🎙️ I could have chatted to Clare McKenna | Presenter | Speaker | Health Coach | Breathwork all day!💜

I absolutely loved joining Clare on Newstalk Alive and Kicking to chat about For After I’ve Gone,my declining brain condition. Why I created the journals and the impact they are having on people and families worldwide

It’s a bittersweet passion project because, unfortunately, sometimes you only truly understand the value of having someone’s words, memories and advice written down after you lose them.

I understand that now more than ever since losing my own Dad and having the incredible gift of his words left behind in his journal. 💜

We also chatted about the wonderful work of the Irish Hospice Foundation , the importance of having those difficult conversations, and why planning ahead and leaving your words behind is not just for people who are unwell.

☕ So grab a cuppa, have a listen and maybe allow it to get you thinking…

What conversations have you been putting off?

What questions would you wish you had asked?

And what words would you want the people you love to have if you weren’t here tomorrow?

Because sometimes the conversations we find hardest to start are the ones that matter most. 💜

What's a song that holds a memory you never want to forget?

Maybe it's the one that played at your wedding. The one your mum used to sing in the kitchen. The one that got you through a hard year.

Music does something words can't. It takes you straight back.

Write down the song. Write down the memory. One day, someone will play it and feel like they know you a little better.

You’ve filled the pages — now the last step is simple: let them know it exists. 🌾
Keep it somewhere safe, tell the people you love where to find it, and let that be enough. You’ve already done the hardest part. 💛

You don't need to explain why. Just name it.

The first dance. The last conversation. The day everything changed. The ordinary Tuesday that meant nothing at the time but means everything now.

Write it down. One sentence is enough. One memory is enough.

Some moments deserve to be remembered — not just in your head, but somewhere your loved ones can find them.

This one's yours.

So you want to gift someone a journal about death. How do you do that without it being awkward?

It's simpler than you think.

Make it about love, not fear. "I want your stories. I want to know you better."

Give it early. Not when someone is sick. Now. While they can enjoy filling it out.

Leave a note inside. "Write a little. Write a lot. I'll be here whenever you want to share."

And if it still feels heavy — get one for yourself too. Fill them side by side.

The gift nobody thinks of. The one everybody needs.
